Bbrrrrrr! It's chilly on Romney Marsh

A bitter day down on Romney Marshes, where an icy easterly howled across the North Sea and into east Kent. A local derby soon warmed things up, however, a match that ended with the home team scoring the winner with one minute left of the four I'd added on.
An enjoyable game between the top team and one near the bottom. The favourites took a two-goal lead by half time but the visitors fought back to level in the second half and rattled their opponents, who just nicked it at the end.
The first half was uneventful but things kicked off rather in the second half. Tempers flared when, after a set to between a few players, several claimed one had spat at them. Although within five yards of the player concerned, he was looking in the other direction so I had no idea if the claims were true and could not penalise him. I had a quiet word with him, but the mood was soured for the rest of what was a competitive and fast game.
