| The fantastic Wested Meadow |
One of the good things about pre season is being able to visit you really enjoyed previously and Wested Meadow falls well in to that category. It was almost five years ago to the day since my first visit and I enjoyed it as much second time around. You can see from the first picture why I love the ground so much with it's unique wooden stand and leafy surrounds. Today they were playing Thamesmead SC. I had visited the club in their previous guise of Seven Acre and Sidcup at Oxford Road and I visited their current ground before it was redeveloped for a Thamesmead Town game.

| Thamesmead on the attack |
Thamesmead are ruthless and are three up at half time with the Crockenhill keeper making some great saves to keep his side in touch. Thamesmead add a fourth in the second half to seal the win. The closest station is Swanley which is just under a half hour trip from Victoria. The walk takes around a half hour with the last bit being unpaved with high sided hedges enclosing the road. Half way between the ground and the station is
Chequers which was a great pub and had it's Covid routine well set out. There were two hand pulls, one being from Timothy Taylor and the other one was White Rat from The Rat brewery which went down very well. The clubhouse had the usual selection of drinks and is worth checking out for the scarves adorning the celling. They also produce a printed programme which could sadly become less common this season.
