                         Keynsham Town vs Radstock Town
                        Toolstation Western League Division 1
                              Friday 13th October 2023
       Keynsham  Town  are  in  the
       Toolstation  Western  League
       Division 1. You may remember
       we  passed  it  on  the  way  to
       Brislington in August. A Friday
       night provided a chance to add
       another ground in this league
       to the collection.
       Keynsham     Town     were
       relegated in 2022/23 from the
       Premier  Division  along  with
       Cadbury  Heath.  They  find
       themselves  19th  in  the  table
       though  with the development
       of players and a 4G pitch the
       Crown  Field  still  retains  it
       original  charm  showing  that
       grounds  can  have  artificial
       surfaces and still have some character.

       There  is  a  wonderful  old  style  turnstile  on  the  entrance  and  programmes  and
       badges available on the gate (which of course makes me very happy). A crowd of
                                                      157 watch the game which is
                                                      good for a step 6 fixture and
                                                      a side at the lower end of the
                                                      league table.
                                                      Visitors Radstock Town are in
                                                      2nd place and could go top if
                                                      they win tonight. A fast start
                                                      sees  them  3-0  up  at  the
                                                      break    and    seemingly
                                                      cruising.  Keynsham's  young
                                                      team make a real go of it in
                                                      the second half and perhaps
                                                      deserve  more  than  just  the
                                                      one  goal  that  sees  the
                                                      scoreline end up 3-1.
