Recordist's notes

Listening to Checkendon Exiles v Wheatley King and Queen in the Upper Thames Valley Sunday League match. I arrived a few minutes before half-time. This recording was made at the end of one of the short paths leading from the lane to the recreation ground. I made the recording with a Tascam DR-40.
