Change of plan.....i travelled the huge distance of 500 yards to my local non-league teams game at 2pm.
Wombwell Town 3 Stocksbridge P.S Development 1
Sheffield County Senior League Division 2
Recreation Ground Wombwell
Attendance 100 approx
Admission free....Programme £1....John Smith's £2.50
Wombwell were reformed during the Summer and have won all 12 competitive games so far this season in Step 9 of the Non League Pyramid, scoring 50 goals and conceding just 14.
Top scorer Luke Norbury (who netted his 15th of the season this aft with the penalty shown below) is the son of former Preston, Cambridge and Donny player Micky Norbury who played just short of 100 League games for those clubs....Millers fans may remember he scored twice v us for Preston in a 5-2 defeat at Deepdale in 1993.
Wombwell's management team include 3 former Barnsley players Doug O'Connor, Karl Rose and James Dudgeon....O'Connor was heavily involved at Shaw Lane Aquaforce who folded last year.
1-0 down inside the first 15 minutes and well under the cosh, i thought i was bringing the kiss of death to Wombwell's winning run, but an equaliser on the stroke of half time changed the complexion of the game and "The Wellers" ran out comfortable 3-1 winners in the end.
Games ends at 3.50 and i'm back home at 3.55 with kettle on.....result.
