Overton United 1 Sandhurst Devels 0


This game in the Aldershot Senior Cup, was played on a Neutral ground at the Aldershot Military Stadium. The stadium is majoritally a Athletics track which also hosts any Army football matches.



The ground has a distict tradional 50's feel about it with some great authentic old floodlights. There is just the one main stand which runs alongside the pitch. This is all seater and for this game housed around 20 people !


There is also a turnstille over in the far corner of the ground, however for this game it is not used.



The game itself was in my mind ruined by the referee who failed to let it flow. Overton took the lead in the first half but rarely threatened. Sandhurst did pull one back only for it to be rulled out. The reulting protests ended up with Sandhurst being reduced to 10 men.


In all a tidy ground that i would recommend anyone goes to should they get the chance.
