Saturday's local football
If you want a far cheaper option than Christmas shopping on Saturday then there's plenty of attractive local football taking place. With Wycombe playing Bolton on Friday night it's a great opportunity to have a look at what's going on in the local football scene.
The most attractive games seem to be Chesham United v Dorking Wanderers in the National League South or slightly further afield Wealdstone v Dagenham & Redbridge in the National League. Chalfont St Peter take on Holmer Green in a local derby. Here's a selection of what's on (all 3pm k.o.):

Kidlington v Berkhampstead in the Southern League Division 1 Central for me.
Berkhamsted! I live there!
Come over! Would be a pleasure to buy you a beer in the club house. Guaranteed Berkhampsted win; Kidlington are exceptionally poor this season.
Three different spellings of the same place in three posts - don't tell micra!
Everyone just says Berko!
Probably Chesham followed by a curry for me!
Chesham United stumbled to a comprehensive defeat today against full-time Dorking Wanderers, who ran out 5-0 winners at the Meadow.
Trailing 2-0 at half-time Chesham conceded a third goal just after the break which effectively sealed the result. The home side had a player sent off for a reckless challenge, leaving Dorking in total control & they added 2 further goals before the end.
The match wasn't helped by a heavy squally shower that made the first 15 minutes very difficult for both sides. However, despite the counter-attraction of Christmas shopping a very good crowd of 955 turned out, including around 200 visiting supporters from Surrey. Not a game to live long in the memory - unless you are a Dorking Wanderers supporter!
Hope the curry was more enjoyable!
Did Young play and if so how did he play?
6th red card of the season for Chesham according to transfermarkt.
Young played & nearly scored from an audacious shot from about 35/40!yards out. Difficult to give a proper analysis as Dorking were so dominant in this game. They played Chesham off the park.
