With Brid being away again, and family commitments taking me to London this weekend, I decided to go and watch my old team who were at home in the first round of the FA Trophy – Wealdstone v Weymouth.
It took 6 hours to drive down on Friday, bastard journey – why can’t our bloody government and Highways Agency sort out the bloody roadworks, because they are crap crap crap and really crap. For some reason the game was played on Friday night, and it was freezing bloody cold. Wealdstone are in the Ryman Prem (similar to Unibond Prem) and Weymouth are in the Blue Square Conference. The game was excellent, in front of 343 lunatics (given the weather) and you would have struggled to believe there was 2full divisions between them.
Weymouth did have a couple of excellent chances early on, but after that it was mainly the Stones who controlled the game and had 4 or 5 excellent chances to score but found it difficult to score. Weymouth broke most of the fans hearts with a winner in injury time (90+3) – it was like a knife through our hearts, but you could clearly see the relief on all the Weymouths players & management team – lucky sods.
Summed the weekend up, me lad was violently ill on Saturday, and I was struck down on Sunday – bloody awful & debilitating – bit like watching Brid some would say.
