Surrey Elite Intermediate League
Abbey Rangers 1 Bookham 0 (att 12)
An early start and a long drive was rewarded with a bright start of the day's groundhopping, amid rain showers at Abbey's ground close to the M25 in Addlestone.
Both sides played some good football, but lacked a cutting edge up front until Abbey broke the deadlock with an 89th minute winner they just about deserved. I'd expected the game to end goalless since before half time, with defences on top, and the home keeper having a great game, denying Bookham whenever they managed a shot on target.
Despite the lack of goalmouth action the game was entertaining, with Abbey's passing game particularly pleasing to watch.
Youth football seems the main focus of Abbey Rangers, which explains the size of the large sports ground they call home. There are three full size pitches, two junior ones and a floodlit training area.
The smart clubhouse has an overhanging roof providing a substantial covered area, albeit with a distant view of pitch number one, with runs lengthways and is separated from the clubhouse by the training area. Both touchlines were roped off, but in terms of facilities that was about it.
