Hampshire Premier League, Senior Division
Bishops Waltham Dynamos 2 Liphook United 0 (att 24)
Once the rain unsurprisingly wiped out my plan A game, and the very late finish to my match at Reading made reaching plan B in time for kick off off unlikely, I was onto plan C.
Plan C was an artificial pitch at Mountbatten School in Romsey, booked by Bishops Waltham Dynamos once it was obvious their regular home ground wasn't going to be playable.
The 4pm slot may have been unusual, but was a bonus for me as it meant I'd be there comfortably ahead of kick off.
Romsey is a fair distance from Bishop's Waltham, but the venue wasn't that random as it was Dynamos' regular home ground last season. It's a standard 3G set up, with floodlights and a worn pitch that was more rubber crumb than fake grass.
There's a spectator area one side, and a welcome surprise was a kiosk near the pitch selling hot and cold drinks, crisps, sweets and chocolate.
Having spent last season at the ground, it was no surprise that Bishops Waltham Dynamos seemed more at home. It took two second half goals to see off a Liphook side who are struggling in the league, but the win was deserved.
