Ground #322.

Saxlingham Nethergate v UEA A, Central & S Norfolk Div 1.

Match abandoned at Half Time. Sadly, the ref and the coach of one side had a spat and threw their dummies out the pram. Pity, the first half was very entertaining.

Hell, how I miss Ted Rogers and Dusty Bin … they are right up there at the top of TV Light Entertainment along with Keith Chegwin, Bernard Manning and Mrs Brown’s Boys.

Just hoping the ref where I am today doesn’t deem the pitch waterlogged and postpone the game 🫤

Steelhenge was made using cast iron ingots left at the site when the Templeborough foundry was demolished. The area is now a nature reserve - great work, Rotherham!
