Decided to have a "quiet afternoon in" watching a game locally so in the absence of any Wessex League home games, headed up to the Ray Mac to watch Salisbury's reserve team take on Camberley Town's reserves in the Suburban League Cup.
Was pleased to arrive at the ground to see the carpark potholes had been filled in, at least on a temporary basis. Paid £3 to get in and decided to stand to the left of the main stand which is normally packed for first team games.
Salisbury scored first after 9 minutes, the ball fell to an unmarked Jamie Barron who shot past the keeper from 6 yards. On 30 minutes the impressive Jonathan Davies took a shot from the edge of the box, across the goalkeeper and in. Camberley didn't have many chances, a few freekicks into the box but very little end product.
It was a similar story in the second half. Salisbury had the best of the possession and looked to get their pacy frontmen through the channels. It was a surprise when the ball ended up in the net at the far end - the goal was given as an own goal but it was difficult to see exactly what had happened from my vantage point. The game fizzled out towards the end, the only real highlight a Salisbury effort that hit the post.
A pleasant way to spend the afternoon - home by 5pm to watch the Final Score coverage and the Chelsea v Blackburn game on Setanta.
