Billericay Town v Chelmsford City last Saturday.

During a weekend away in Es*** dishing out Xmas goodies , my son and I took a trip to watch his local team entertain near neighbours Chelmsford in a National League South fixture. The game finished 1-1 and was keenly contested in front of a big crowd of 1354 , one of ‘Ricky’s biggest of the season. Ex football league player Jamie O’ Hara will have been the happier of the two managers as his home team hung on for a draw after Chelmsford had deservedly got level. On another day, they would have ended up with all three points. With a bit more luck in front of goal. A good way to start the weekend off at New Lodge.
