Derby Day down at Broad Lane on Saturday as Wivenhoe Town welcomed the Colchester near neighbours from Stanway Pegasus. I do love a good local derby - which is just as well, seeing as though the Dragons might be playing Alresford in a public park next season.
My fashionably late arrival meant that I missed the first goal. 1-0 to Wivenhoe. GEDDIN.
It was rather lovely walking around the old ground in the Easter sunshine, saying hello to some familiar and friendly faces. Wind was a bit of an issue on the pitch. A game of football threatened to break out at times.
Pegasus managed an equaliser just before half time with a decent header from a rebounded shot. I knew which way this game was heading. I buggered off up the road to the University for the basketball that was about to tip off.
A quick scroll through my feed an hour or so later at the Sports Arena, and I see that Pegasus got a late, late winner. Hey hoe.
SHOUT OUT to the Wivenhoe Ultra Kids, who made a magnificent bloody racket throughout the whole of the first half. I believe the children are our future, etc.
