Colchester Utd vs Leamington
I was photographing the match for a paper local to Leamington. As a semi impartial neutral I would like to add my utter admiration to the fans and supporters of both teams. Several years ago I got very unhappy and down about football and the people who support the teams. Since photographing the Leamington players for the last few years I can appreciate the friendship they and their fans extend wherever they go and whoever they entertain. I didn't realise that the fans of a team of Colchester's stature would be of the same pedigree, but they sure are! The way they appalauded Ryan Parisi when he went off injured, the way they applauded Richard Adams goal and the way they waited back at the end to applaud the Leamington team is a huge credit to them, their team and their town.
The result was obviously disappointing for everyone concerned with Leamington, but they can all be very proud if their achievement in getting this far. Plus they are a really nice bunch of people.
