Different levels

 Saturday 27 April 2024

A treble today and 3 very different levels of Football.

Game 1 - 1030am
Mosborough Yellows 5 Game Changer FC 1
Sheffield Fair Play League, Division 3
Mosborough Miners Welfare

Mosborough won the league during the week but found themselves one down after 6 minutes, and they struggled to control the first half but did get back on level terms after 19 minutes.

I the second half their superior quality and large amount of subs began to tell and they scored 4 further goals before being presented with the trophy. Game became a bit of a joke with so many subs and they even put their keeper up front as he tried to get on the scoring chart.

2 pitches behind the Miners Welfare, fist pitch is home ground of Mosborough Rugby Union Club, the football pitch is beyond the rugby pitch and up a slight bank. Two fixed dug outs in place.

Then short drive to:

Game 2 - 3pm
Sheffield 0 Hebburn Town 2
NPL, East Division
Home of Football

Hebburn had to win to guarantee the title and they did so with little stress. Sheffield were on top for the first half hour but never troubled the visiting keep, after 30 minutes Hebburn started to take control and only real surprise was they only scored twice.

Ground struggled to cope with the much larger than normal crowd, home fans seem very keen on the move to their new ground ( for 25/26 season) not far from their current home but at least not in Derbyshire! Am sure some will miss their current home, no surprise when the ground is in a pub back garden!

Short drive east to:

Game 3, 8pm

Hull City 3 Ipswich Town 3
Championship
MKM Stadium


Classic - great for the neutral but if we had held on a for those last few minutes we would have almost been up, but now Leeds are still in the race.
