Peterborough and District League, Premier Division
Tydd 2 Moulton Harrox 3 (att 342)
From Whaplode Drove I joined a convoy of groundhopper-laden cars snaking its way through the lanes on the short journey to Tydd St Giles, where last season's Tydd St Mary FC have relocated to.
The move has meant a name change, with the club now known as Tydd FC, and work on the new venue is still continuing. Apparently the league gave them permission to stage this game, but future matches will be played elsewhere until work on the changing rooms is complete.
Obviously I didn't see the state of the changing rooms, but what I did see was a decent village football ground that seems more than adequate for this level of the game. The single football pitch is screened off from the wider recreation ground, although whether that was a one-off to ensure everyone paid to get in for this match I'm not sure.
Like Whaplode Drove before them (and Sutton Bridge United later in the day) the club was well organised to cater for the larger than usual crowd. It was a decent game too, with the visitors leading 1-0 at the break before going on to get a deserved 3-2 victory.
