Recordist's notes
This is the third in a series of recordings of Didcot Eagles v Marcham Reserves in the North Berks League Division Five. Standing next to the stream the voices of the players are much more distinct. One of the interesting aspects of this recording is that the first two minutes were recorded during a stoppage in play. There is a lot of on-pitch talk and discussion with the referee. The sounding event changes dramatically as the ball enters play again and the voices begin to move around the space. recorded using an Edirol R09-HR.
