Lochar Thistle (08-04-2023)

Lochar Thistle 3 - 0 Mid-Annandale (South of Scotland League), Saturday 8 April 2023

My 4th match in Scotland, taking in an exploration of Dumfries (burial place of Robert Burns), a wander round nearby Heathhall and my 1st South of Scotland match at Wilson Park. A beautiful day, a smooth drive from Cumbria and my first Saturday game since pre-Christmas!

Pinxton (21-03-2023)

Staveley Miners Welfare Reserves 1 - 4 Club Thorne Colliery (Central Midlands Floodlit Cup Final), Tuesday 21st March 2023 [AET]






The wettest and coldest match of the season, when I was absolutely soaked by the end. But a great match which went the distance, with Staveley only put to the sword in extra time. Shades of Barca-Chelsea 2000, and my first cup final attended since 2019.
