Anglian Combination
Caister 1 Norwich CEYMS 3 (att 43)
Final game of my mini Norfolk "hop", and a trip to the coast to see two sides who were promoted to the Anglian Combination's top division last season.
Caister are already finding the higher level a struggle, although they played well for long periods of this game and were a bit unlucky to lose.
The first half was dominated by the visitors, whose name is an acronym for Church of England Young Men's Society. They scored the half's only goal, which looked offside to me, but in truth Caister were a little fortunate to be just one goal behind.
In the second half Caister were much better, and put CEYMS under a lot of pressure before conceding a second against the run of play. An own goal gave Caister a deserved lifeline, but as they pushed forward looking likely to equalise they were caught on the break and let in a third.
Caister's ground is a basic recreation ground, with two pitches separated by a cricket square and next to a modern pavilion, which housed a snack bar. The main pitch was roped off, except the far side where, officially at least, spectators aren't permitted. Dugouts and a few advertising boards turn it into a football ground. The club's third team were at home on the adjacent pitch.
