For the first time ever I left a Watford match early today.

Unlike others, I didn't make a run for it due to the dreadful performance on the pitch. No, I had been roped into bar duties at Rickmansworth Lawn Tennis Club.

Leaving early had two good points to it. First, I missed Watford conceeding their third goal of the evening. And second, I could actually remove my bike from its parking place near the programme hut at the top of Occupation Road and cycle unobstructed down Vicarage Road.
