Didcot are worth a watch if you're near Chesham tomorrow - try to pop it about across their own six yard box and the like, will leak goals but some of the stuff they play is great.
Hemel Hempstead 3 Billericay Town 0
High-spending Billericay were brought down to earth by a lively Hemel side in blazing sunshine. Quite how both sets of players competed in such heat is beyond me.
Several new faces were playing on either side. Jordan Parkes has switched from Hemel to Billericay while Craig Robson has come in from Barnet. Hemel fielded Barnet striker Mo Bettamer but it was his substitution that sparked Hemel on to a late victory. Ex-WW keeper Sam Beasant was in goal for Hemel with veteran keeper Alan Julian between the sticks for Billericay.
The match turned when Hemel changed their front players, bringing on Nash & German. Both scored late on with Ricardo German getting another right at the death. 838 fans at the game, including about 100 from Essex. So it’s back to the drawing board, or the bank manager for Billericay.
