Attendance: 90

​

This was to be a weekend full of football. I attended two matches on Saturday afternoon and on Sunday I was pleased to find out I could go to Skepparslövs IP for Skepparslöv v Fjälkinge and still be back home in time for the England game on tv. Two years ago Fjälkinge played in Division 4 but back to back relegations means they are now playing in Division 6 Skåne Nordöstra A. It takes 15 minutes by car for me to reach Skepparslövs IP and as I arrived the small car park was almost full. The ground is situated just outside of the village of Skepparslöv, along quite a long and steep slope up a hill. That means quite a few cars had to park along the road and it didn't look completely safe from a traffic perspective. The weather was glorious and with all the seats (benches) being on the north side of the ground it was to be 2 hours of sun bathing for those present. Skepparslövs IF have a nice porch from where they are selling foods and drinks and as I arrived the mood was excellent. In total the attendance was closed to the allowed 100 and yet again it was obvious people are starved of live football.

​

The pitch at Skepparslövs IP is notoriously hard and uneven and that affects what happens on the pitch. The football on display was quite poor but in a way still entertaining. Despite the visitors from Fjälkinge being the better team it was 2-0 to Skepparslöv at half-time. In the second half Fjälkinge pulled a goal back and in the last minute of stoppage time Fjälkinge were awarded a penalty kick. It didn't look like a penalty and the home players were furious. The penalty was poor though and it must have been a meter or so outside of the right post. Two consecutive wins for Skepparslöv but I doubt the players are interested in being promoted.
