Recordist's notes
This is a recording of a North Berks League Division Two match between Dorchester and Hungerford Town FC Swifts. The recording was made with my Edirol R-09HR and I was standing behind the Hungerford goal. There is a lot of sound from the ball in this recording and several layers of speech from the commands and comments of the goalkeeper to the coaches of both sides across on the opposite touchline. there is occasional sound from dog walkers and other spectators. there were probably around thirty of us watching the match. Hungerford won 7-2 but soaked up a lot of pressure from Dorchester.
