@EmmaGroundGuide @NorthernPremLge @CTFC1904 @Emley_AFC Been very impressed with Carlton first half.

[Adam Drake @adamdrake92]

@skegnesstownfc @AshbyIvanhoe_FC FT @skegnesstownfc 0 @AshbyIvanhoe_FC 2 - a better half of football, with more chances created by the hosts, but the damage was already done.

Oh, I do like to be… about one mile inland! Another UCL PN tick at @skegnesstownfc, who take on @AshbyIvanhoe_FC in a mid-table clash. In fact it’s my ever trip to the East Mids coast today, and what a day! Been absolutely superb on the front with plenty sun and no wind.

[Adam Drake @adamdrake92]

HT @skegnesstownfc 0 @AshbyIvanhoe_FC 2 - An early goal for the visitors from a soft penalty, the lead doubled not long after, but it’s a lead well deserved. No real attacking threat from Skeggy until the 43rd minute, with no outballs and Ashby mopping up almost all possession.

More photos from before the game. Impressed with the @wombwelltownfc ground, clearly a lot of investment and improvement happening 👏

An eventful Friday evening…

New service station (Rotherham) ✅
New Spoons (The Horseshoe) ✅
New ground (Wombwell Town) ✅

@wombwelltownfc take on local-ish @NostellMWFC in a league fixture under the lights.

[Adam Drake @adamdrake92]

@wombwelltownfc @NostellMWFC FT @wombwelltownfc 2 @NostellMWFC 0 - a comfortable half for the hosts. The home no.7 threatened with his long throws in the first half, and they duly converted two early doors in the second. Tommy Tonks, eat your heart out. Nostell couldn’t trouble them in response.

HT @wombwelltownfc 0 @NostellMWFC 0 - scrappy start with neither creating much of meaning, then the last 25’ has belonged to Wombwell, forcing a few saves. Some jeopardy late on as their keeper collided with a Nostell attacker - yellow for the keeper, the resultant free kick wide

[Adam Drake @adamdrake92]

@Dunkirk_FC @GedlingMWFC Absolutely! Sorry for the late reply, hope this is still of use to you.

[Adam Drake @adamdrake92]

Spending tonight up at Plains Road social club, so I might as well follow @GedlingMWFC away this afternoon. The pitch at @Dunkirk_FC is looking fine, all recent weather considered.

[Adam Drake @adamdrake92]

@ralph_sr @Dunkirk_FC @GedlingMWFC No worries, usually get down at least once a season!

[Adam Drake @adamdrake92]

@Dunkirk_FC @GedlingMWFC Correction on this, obviously was an equaliser, not a winner. D’oh!

[Adam Drake @adamdrake92]

@Dunkirk_FC @GedlingMWFC FT @Dunkirk_FC 2 @GedlingMWFC 2 - great half. Perfect start for the hosts, no.7 had all the time in the world to finish, but Gedling went back ahead with a strong header from a corner. Dunkirk kept battling, a last minute winner from who else but Kieran bloody Wells 😂 Quality!

[Adam Drake @adamdrake92]

@Dunkirk_FC @GedlingMWFC The man, the myth, the legend.

[Adam Drake @adamdrake92]

A thoroughly, expectedly depressing afternoon at Ilson. 5-0. Where do @Basfordutdfc go from here?

[Adam Drake @adamdrake92]

@golcarunited @ThackleyAFC Absolutely, thank you. It’s only postponements that have stopped me from visiting before!

[Adam Drake @adamdrake92]

A couple from Saturday, @ThackleyAFC winning 4-0 away at league leaders @golcarunited. The visitors deserved all their goals, and Golcar’s real disappointment will be that they couldn’t convert any of their many chances in the second half, Thackley with 3 unanswered goals.

[Adam Drake @adamdrake92]

Never finished this thought! Finished 4-0 to Lincoln Utd.

[Adam Drake @adamdrake92]

Got my car back from the garage, and have successfully made it up the A46 to @NewarkTownFC who take on @LincolnUnited, both sides going well in the table. First time here in a couple of years, and it’s looking better for the new YMCA building and stands. Still cold, mind!

[Adam Drake @adamdrake92]

@EmmaGroundGuide @NewarkTownFC @LincolnUnited Yes, very impressed with Lincoln! Not a stretch that they could have had more, but Newark had enough chances themselves, shame they couldn’t at least get one.
