The ground is tucked away adjacent to the army camp. At the top of Whinney Hill off Vimy Road,  there's a pathway just in front of the security gate. The narrow path passes an enclosed 4G pitch on the other side of the barbed wire fence, before leading to the rugby and football grounds. The pitch is roped off with a pair of Perspex dugouts on the far side.

Colburn in their lush pink jerseys took a commanding three goal lead by half time. Ross Drury got on the end of a corner kick in the 9th minute, before a deflected shot from Joe Woodall, followed by Tom Sweeney side footed home the third.

Spenni got their act together after the interval, #14 scoring a rebounded penalty and #9 heading in after the keeper made a fabulous save to block his initial shot. 

The comeback was dashed when a free kick was met by Nigel Cole with a lovely header, but the visitors didn't give up, with #9 adding his second to make it 4-3. Spennithorne had a few decent chances late on, but Colburn hung on to claim all three points.
