LAST Saturday was a busy day for me as I covered Watford vs Liverpool, then attended Brentford vs Chelsea as a punter, primarily to catch up with old Blues mates over a few beers, but also to chart the ongoing progress of the Bees.

Racing over from the lunchtime game at Vicarage Road to Brentford for the 5.30pm start, it suddenly dawned on me that I might be able to squeeze in a 3pm game somewhere.

Scanning the fixtures, I noted Wealdstone were playing Dagenham in the FA Cup fourth preliminary round. Immediately, I contacted a couple of Stones pals who urged me to come.
