  • Ribbesford Meadows Teams
    Date: 05.02.2019 Ground: 81 Match: 23 (2018/2019 season) Venue: Ribbesford Meadows Teams: Bewdley Town V Smethwick Rangers Competition: West Midlands Regional League Premier Division Admission: £3 Final Score: 5-0 (H/T 3-0) Referee: Not Known Attendance: 22 (Head Count) Mileage to venue and return: 41.2 Miles Programme: £1 Introduction This game was the third time in a row that I had attempted to take in a midweek game of football. Two weeks ago, I arrived at the Aspray Arena to watch Dudley Town V Black Country Rangers, but the snow came down with force and the game was postponed with around half hour to go too kick off. Last Tuesday I had planned to visit Wellbeing Park for the ‘El Stonio’ between Stone Dominoes V Stone Old Alleynians, but that was postponed earlier in the day due to more bad weather. So, it goes without saying that I was very pleased to see an improvement in the weather and for this game at Ribbesford Meadows to go ahead. As this was a midweek match, I went straight to the venue directly from my place of work in Atcham, Shropshire. My route from work took me the usual way home too Much Wenlock but instead of turning right in Much Wenlock and towards my, HQ in South Shropshire I travelled towards the Shropshire Village of Morville. From Morville I travelled through more Shropshire Villages – Glazeley, Billingsley and Button Oak to name but a few before arriving in Bewdley. As is my usual practise, I found the location of the ground which is located in the Village of Ribbesford, 1.3 miles from Bewdley.
