The second of the five new Wessex Premier grounds this season and a trip over to the Isle of Wight. Spent the early part of the day in Sandown with Amy before catching the train back up to Brading. Fortunately the ground is close to the railway line so it was relatively easy to retrace the route back to the ground.
Very pleasant and friendly atmosphere at the ground and a comfortable first Premier win for Brading although their counterattacking football gave them a couple of scares. James Temple, a mass of blonde hair up front gave them the lead in the first half and an excellent long distance shot made it 2.0 in the second. Hamble’s supporters were providing an entertaining commentary to those in the small stand, the majority of whom got covered in tea when a misplaced pass knocked a full cup out of someone’s hand.
Luckily this just added to the topics for banter between the two sets of supporters. The final goal came from a goal mouth scramble late in the game. I think Amy was more interested in the scooters that were bombing round the Island during the Bank Holiday meet but she did note with some incredulity that she had ticked a ground that Alan hadn’t.
