SJR Worksop (24-04-2026)

SJR Worksop 2 - 1 Harworth Colliery (Central Midlands Premier North), Friday 24 April 2026

A decent match at a ground I have driven past many times (and within a 5 minute walk of Worksop Town's ground). A strange Spring evening started in hot sunshine and ended in chilly conditions as the sun set (thank god they kept the light on at Asda as the glow from that helped a bit!).

SJR Worksop turned this one around against a tough Harworth Colls. The strangeness of the evening continued as half the spectators and cars leaving ended up locked in!

LUFC Women Development (19-04-2026)

Leeds United Women Development 1 - 2 Stoke City Women Development (Women's National League Reserve North), Sunday 19 April 2026

A revisit to Nostell's Crofton Community Centre, albeit on a different pitch. I hadn't realised there was a cup final in progress on the main pitch. On the "top field" I saw a decent match between 2 young women's sides.

Stoke deservedly won, thanks to a brilliant inswinging free kick in the second half. The highlight was an authoritative and friendly referee who explained his decisions clearly and acted as an on-field coach.

Plus a cheeky one of the men's cup final taking place on the main pitch.
