Arthurian League, Division Three
Old Sennockians 5 Kings College School Old Boys II 1 (att 8)
I usually try to arrive at matches around 30 minutes ahead of a scheduled kick off time as, particularly at lower levels where spectators aren't a concern, it's not unusual for the action to get underway early.
This game was listed as a 10.45 kick off, but as I walked from the car park to the pitch the action was already underway. It seemed I'd missed about two minutes, and also a very early home goal.
Sennockians dominated the opening minutes and it looked like just a matter of time before they extended their lead. But they failed to take their chances and Kings College recovered from their bad start and grew into the game.
The score remained 1-0 at half time, and the away side equalised early in the second period. That sparked Sennockians back into live and they quickly regained the lead.
Kings College only had 11 players, and with no substitutes they wilted as they tired towards the end of the game. The home took advantage, adding three more goals. Their final goal was scored while the visitors were temporarily down to 10 men, with one having been sin-binned.
Old Sennockians are old boys of Sevenoaks School in Kent. I last visited in 2017, by coincidence against the same opposition, when they played on a pitch known as Park Grange. Home games are now played on 'pitch six' at Duke's Meadow, closer to the entrance and car park.
