Parking was difficult as we were not familiar with Chelmsford.
Strangely, the access to the Fairfield Road Public Car Park is blocked from Fairfield Road.
You have to tour Chelmsford to find an alternative entrance.
When we had recovered the traumas of our travels, we were well beaten and only won one game.
