eddiegrundy The match didn't get underway until 8pm, although I'm never sure what the official kick-off time is for evening games at Scours Lane as they don't seem to publish it anywhere that I can see.
Official KO time for Town is 19:45 - much like the majority of sides in the Hellenic Premier - exceptions that I'm aware of
(cos I've been caught out once or twice ! ) who Kick Off at 19:30 are :
Ardley Utd, Ascot Utd, & Hook Norton -
oh and last season's champs Hungerford Town - who still KO earlier even though they are in the Southern league now.
I think it may have something to do with local bye-laws - i.e. their lights were put up on the understanding that they aren't in use after a certain time - though of course some leeway would be granted in the event of Cup Ties: ET & pens etc

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
... I dodged the the bad weather
(and the prospect of watching the insomnia-curing Scouserzzzz) - nipped over to Cobham and watched a fairly entertaining 4-1 win over Feltham in the Combined Counties Div One, for a club that that occasionally shortens their (long) name to MVSCRFC -
bit of a nightmare draw in Scrabble that - back home and out again to the Pub by 22:30.
Don't spose I'd have got there much earlier had I opted for Scours.
Oh and their full name - Mole Valley Sutton Common Rovers FC.
