Midland Combination, Division Two
FC Stratford 2 Kenilworth Town KH 2 (att 34)
Once again a 3G pitch provided refuge on a day when finding a game guaranteed to go ahead on grass was a tricky proposition.
FC Stratford use the all-weather pitch adjacent to the newish Stratford Town FC ground. In effect, FC Stratford are Town's third team, with a name change from their previous "Stratford Town A" allowing them to compete in a league that otherwise has no reserve sides.
Like the afternoon's weather, the game got better after a poor start. Much of the first half was rain swept, and on the pitch there was little of note other than Stratford going ahead.
The rain had stopped by the time Stratford doubled their lead early in the second half, then a great fightback from Kenilworth saw them gain a deserved point in a game that was, on the whole, entertaining.
The ground is typical for a 3G set-up, with the floodlit pitch enclosed by a high fence. Spectators can stand inside, along the one side and half of one end that were roped off.
