A bitterly cold evening at The Deva where a 97th minute goal from Chester's Connor Woods cancelled out Aaron Skinner's 60th minute opener for Hereford (att: 1,800). On balance the draw was a fair result #Groundhopping #NationalLeagueNorth #UTS #COYW

Never felt more like singing the blues...

The 3rd Round of the Welsh Cup threw up an opportunity of seeing football played at a ground normally used for rugby. Glynneath Town's fantastic run in this season's competition ended as they were beaten 5-2 by Trearddur Bay at the home of Glynneath RFC, Abernant Park #Groundhopping 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #GameOn #Wales

Headed up to sunny Glasgow this afternoon and to Fullarton Park, the home of Vale of Clyde, as the Tin Pail took on Hurlford United in the 4th Round of The South Region Challenge Cup. The homesters were full value for their 4-1 win (att: c170) #Groundhopping 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #Scotland #MonTheTinPail #MonTheFord

A foul night, in more ways than one, down at Cae-y-Castell as Storm Claudia hit North Wales making it a cold, wet and windy watch as Flint Town United were comfortably despatched 3-0 by Cymru Premier champions The New Saints (att: 341) #Groundhopping #Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #Wales

Tuesday night #Groundhopping stood on an open terrace in the pissing rain. With the game poised at 1-1, it was a dramatic ending to this National League North encounter as 10-man Chester thought they'd stolen the points but a stoppage equaliser gave Southport a deserved draw. FT: 2-2. Att: 1,507

A 2.30pm kick off at Goodison Park where, in absolutely foul weather conditions, Everton Women were beaten 2-1 by Manchester City Women in the Women's Super League. The Toffees played well and can consider themselves unlucky not to get something against the current league leaders #EFC #WSL #COYB

An 11am kick off at New Bucks Park, the home of Bootle FC, where The Molly (wearing Juventus kit) were beaten 2-0 by Black Bull (wearing Real Madrid away kit) in the 2nd Round of the FA Sunday Cup. A good game between two good teams but BB just had that little bit more about them 🏆 #Groundhopping

A much needed 3 points for #Everton after recent disappointments. The Toffees were always in control and restricted #Fulham to few opportunities. VAR intervened to rule out three Everton 'goals' but efforts from Idrissa Gana Gueye and Michael Keane did stand. FT: 2-0. Att: 52,491 #EFC #UTFT #COYB

A first visit to Central Park since it has been upgraded in readiness for next Summer's U19 Euros. It is now looking very smart indeed. Tonight Denbigh Town were beaten 2-1 by Cymru North leaders Llandudno but they made The Seasiders work hard for their win (att: 490) #Groundhopping #Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #Wales

A bonus game this Thursday evening and a revisit to a spruced up Valley Road, the home of Flixton. After 13 years in abeyance the club have reformed but for the time being The Lions are only playing friendly matches. Tonight they beat Manchester Corinthians 5-4 (att: c250) #Groundhopping #UpTheLions

Some "daylight" snaps of the Memorial Playing Fields...

Headed back inland to Norfolk for the second part of my East Anglian double header where, in the @IsthmianLeague.bsky.social North Division, Downham Town and Tilbury played out a 1-1 draw at The Memorial Playing Field (att: 110) #Groundhopping #TheTown #TheDockers #IsthmianLeague

From Sunderland to Suffolk. Headed to the coast for the first part of an East Anglian double header where, in the @IsthmianLeague.bsky.social North Division, Felixstowe and Walton United beat Brightlingsea Regent 3-0 at Dellwood Avenue (att: 251) #Groundhopping #TheSeasiders #TheRs #IsthmianLeague

From Sussex to Sunderland. Monday night football and a trip up the A1 to Wearside for a first visit to the Stadium of Light in over 25 years where, in the Premier League, Sunderland and Everton played out a 1-1 draw (att: 46,454). Iliman Ndiaye's goal was fantastic! #Groundhopping #UTFT #COYB #EFC

Highlight of the weekend? Buying a pin badge from this tremendous club shop. You can shove your Megastore where the sun don't shine!! 😂

Still in West Sussex this Sunday but just the one game for me today. It was an 11am kick off at the Loxwood Recreation Ground aka 'The Nest' where, in the Southern Combination League Division One, Loxwood were comfortably beaten 5-1 by Arundel (att: 255) #Groundhopping #TheMagpies #TheMullets

Headed to West Sussex this Saturday for a cheeky double header. Second game of the day was a 5.45pm kick off at Culver Road where, in the Southern Combination League Premier Division, Lancing were beat 3-1 by Newhaven (att: 293) #Groundhopping #TheLancers #TheDockers

Headed to West Sussex this Saturday for a cheeky double header. First game of the day was a 3pm kick off at the High Wood Hill Sports Ground where, in the @IsthmianLeague.bsky.social South East Division, Broadbridge Heath beat VCD Athletic 4-1 (att: 128) #Groundhopping #TheBears #TheVickers

A huge game at The Racecourse this evening with a North vs South #Wales clash in the 4th round of the Football League Cup. #Wrexham and #Cardiff City went head-to-head for the first time in 21 years and it was The Bluebirds who earned the bragging rights after a 2-1 win (att: 10,563) #Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #EFL

A bleak and miserable afternoon on the banks of the Mersey, in more ways than one. A first ever Premier League defeat at the new stadium for The Toffees. FT: 0-3. Att: 52,501 (the highest attendance thus far) #EFC #UTFT #COYB

I need a miracle being played at the break. Must be taking the piss!

Made the long journey to the South East today to see London's oldest club, Cray Wanderers, take on Dartford at one of London's newest grounds, Flamingo Park. In front of a tremendous crowd of 1,252 The Wands were beaten 2-0 by The Darts in an @isthmianleague.bsky.social Premier clash #Groundhopping

At The Etihad Stadium for Everton's now regular defeat at the hands of Manchester City. Erling Haaland the difference with a brace though, up to that point I thought The Toffees did ok. Levels isn't it? Onwards..... FT: 2-0. Att: 52,498 #Groundhopping #UTFT #COYB #EFC

Good to Charly Gueye finally getting his debut!

Tonight it was the 'Battle of the Bays' in the 2nd Round of the FAW Welsh Cup. North Wales Coast League Kinmel Bay were drawn at home to Cymru Premier Colwyn Bay but the tie was switched to Llanelian Road. There was no danger of an upset with The Seagulls winning 5-0 (att: 1,152) #Groundhopping 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🏆

Back on #TheRoadToWembley with an FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round Replay at The Deva Stadium. After a 1-1 draw last Saturday, tonight a superb #Chester performance saw them beat #Morecambe 2-0 (att: 2,979) to progress to the 1st Round proper where they will now face Cambridge United #UTS #MagicOfTheCup

Women's Super League action at Bramley Moore this Sunday as Everton Women took on Manchester United Women at the new Everton Hill Dickinson Stadium. An impressive crowd of 18,154 saw the Red Devils run out 4-1 winners. That is now 4 defeats from 6 #WSL games for the Toffees #EFC #COYB #UTFT

It was no Newcastle away but I had to make the climb up those (in) famous Bush Park steps in order to earn that @futbologyapp.bsky.social badge!
