Anglian Combination, Premier Division
Beccles Town 2 Waveney 2 (att 75)
I enjoy my occasional visits to games in the Anglian Combination, which has venues ranging in facilities from roped off pitches to proper grounds with floodlights and stands.
Beccles is in the latter category, and College Meadow can't be far from the requirements for step six football if the club were to pursue promotion from the Anglian Combination. As well as lights, the pitch is mostly railed off and there's a stand with seats along on side of the pitch.
I think the stand is a recent replacement for an aged predecessor, and the club deserve credit for mirroring the design of the old stand, rather than replacing it with an off-the-shelf prefab of the type seen at so many grounds.
Waveney, whose ground I visited towards the end of last season, made the most of a defensive error to earn a point from this game.
They deserved a draw, after starting well and taking a deserved lead before allowing Beccles back into the match. Two goals in quick succession had given the hosts a half time lead they'd looked like holding until the end, but Waveney's late leveller meant it was a point apiece.
