The ground itself is bleak, surrounded by a 2 metre high wooden fence. Currently hard standing on three sides but by next season four. Four Floodlights, one each corner and a small seated stand positioned close to the entrance near the corner flag!
The home side were wearing red and were quickly on the attack. Louis Mundin blasted over from twelve yards after being set up by Tom Cooper-Richards. Radfords first attack of any note resulted in the ball being crossed in from the right for Harry Allen to direct a header into the GSP net. On 25 minutes Allen out muscled his marker and sent in a cross come shot that flew marginaly wide of the goal. Radford went two goals up on the half hour when a poor GSP goalkick landed at the feet of Danny Powell and he raced forward and a low shot from outside the area beat Nathan Tomex. Just before half time the home side pulled a goal back when a free kick into the area was flicked past Radfords keeper Jake Want. HT 1-2
Graham Street Prims came out in determined fashion in the blustery conditions and completely bossed the second half. Tom Cooper-Richards was a thorn in Radfords side as he ran the defence ragged. A good chance came his way after the ball was crossed in from the right by Jim Slack but his shot rebounded to safety after hitting the post. Radford were riding their luck as free kicks, corners and chances came and went for the home side with none being converted. Radford held on for their first away victory in this their last game of the season. FT 1-2
