Saturday 27th September
Winner gets £4,500
Arrived at the ground just
before kick off. £5 to get in and the programs were sold out. The support was
very good following their 2-1 win over Hereford United. How the mighty have
fallen. I went straight to the C O T shop. Normal large shed affair and with
familiar menu. Burgers, Bacon/sausage sandwiches and chips with everything by
the looks of things. Just paying for my drink when a muted cheer was heard from
the far end where the Halesowen supporters were.
Centre Forward Lyseden
Christie had opened the scoring. He scored 3 more before half-time, all
headers. He was no more than 5’ 9” but
could leap and head a ball as good as I’ve seen. The marking wasn’t brilliant I
must say. Halesowen went on to win 7 -1 with Lyseden Christie scoring 6 of
them. I was talking to local supporters who informed me that Christie was on
£400/week. Not bad for a part timer but a good striker is like gold dust in any
class of football. I had a look round the set up during the second half and
discovered what must be the smallest bar in the league. It did have a telly in
so I could catch up with other football.
Very enjoyable day though. Not a clue
what the crowd was and never saw a raffle.
The draw on Monday handed Halesowen an away trip to Guisley
(Leeds). Ere we go … 272 mile round trip.
