Pic of the week 26/2/17
Wednesday evening, 7.30pm kick off, and I did my first game under lights, at the Abbey Moor Stadium, Glastonbury.
Wessex Youth U16 v Stallbridge in the Yeovil & District Youth League. Pitch was heavy, and the lights not brilliant – certainly some areas a little gloomy forcing you to get up close to have a good look, but I really enjoyed the experience.
For a while I thought it was going to turn into that elusive beast – a 0-0 drawer – but with 20 minutes to go I awarded the home side a penalty (stone wall) which they dispatched with vigour. 10 mins later, another penalty, this time to the away side, but blasted over the bar and the game finished 1 – 0 to Wessex.
A fast paced game, really enjoyed it. The lights made it a bit different and a bit special. As I trooped off the pitch at the end of the game I overheard a spectator saying to a coach: “A great game to watch” and I think it was. Glad to be a part of it.
