Bedfordshire County League, Premier Division
AFC Oakley Sports M & DH 1 Wilstead 1 (att 172)
The challenge facing the final game of any "hop" is that it needs to be particularly good to be memorable, or even to hold the attention during the 90 minutes for many of those supposedly watching.
This wasn't really a bad game, in fact for the most part the second half was entertaining, but as the third game of the day, and the first in which the threatened rain arrived, it felt like a bit of a struggle to watch.
Oakley looked the better side, and scored the first half's only goal, but the visitors equalised after the break and over 90 minutes there wasn't much between the two teams.
The ground may have been another roped off pitch, but it was the best of the day, with a lively social club and the feel of a "proper" sports venue.
During the second half the action on the field had to compete with the announcement of the raffle winners, a list of winning numbers so long than even I came away with a bottle of Breton cider.
