Not having a fixture on Saturday afternoon means many Watford fans will be looking for a game to watch, rather than just sit in front of Sky Soccer Saturday or – perish the thought – do some DIY, shopping, gardening etc.

A blank Saturday is a rarity, and the Hornets only have one because their game with West Brom has been moved to Monday at 8pm for live Sky coverage.

There is plenty of local football you can go out to watch, and support a local grassroots club at the same time.

Below are some suggestions based upon teams close to Vicarage Road who are at home on Saturday.

Of course, Watford fans might prefer to keep their Saturday free and go to support Watford Women when they host MK Dons Women on Sunday (February 19, 2pm) at Wealdstone FC’s Grosvenor Vale stadium.

Watford currently sit fourth in the FA WNL Southern League Premier and, with games in hand, are right in the thick of a promotion hunt.

Season ticket holders can get discounts if booking in advance, and full details are available by clicking here. 

Returning to Saturday, and you could actually take in back-to-back games at Wealdstone, as they host York City (including on-loan Shaq Forde) at 3pm on Saturday in the National League – details here.

Meanwhile, there is also National League action at Boreham Wood, where Hornets legend Lloyd Doyley is part of the first-team coaching staff. They are at home to Halifax Town on Saturday at 5.20pm. Details here.

One of the most successful local teams are Berkhamsted, who sit at the top of the Southern League Division One Central, and incredibly have won all 18 of their home games in all competitions this season – the best record in the top eight levels of English football. They are also unbeaten since mid-November, and on Saturday they host Biggleswade Town at 3pm. Click here for details.

Going further down the non-league pyramid, both Colney Heath (v Aylesbury Vale Dynamos at 3pm (details here) and Tring Athletic (v Leighton Town at 3pm (details here) have home fixtures.

In the Spartan South Midland League Division Two, there are home games for Bovingdon (v Aston Clinton at 2pm, details here) and Tring Corinthians (v Risborough Rangers Development at 2pm, details here).

And if you really want to support the grassroots of local football, then there are plenty of games in the Herts County League - click here for fixtures.
