Recordist's notes

I headed down to Brightwell Recreation Ground to see the last few minutes of Didcot Eagles v Grove Rangers (North Berks League Division 5) but there was no-one there except some children fighting with sticks and a few dog walkers. The white lines on the pitch looked recently painted and the goalmouths were muddy but whether or not the match had taken place I couldn't be sure. I stood by the pavilion and recorded the situation with my Edirol R-09-HR and imagined the sound of the ball, of players shouting instructions, the referee's whistle.
