Bottesford Town

A short trip across Scunthorpe allows me to take in the evening's Northern Counties East League Division One tie between Bottesford Town and Worsbrough Bridge Athletic.


The hosts have made an unbeaten start to the season, whilst their opponents would be encouraged by collecting their first win of the campaign last Saturday after ending last season in bottom place.


From the outset it is clear this is going to be a tightly contested game, and chances look sure to be at a premium.


Looking down the touchline towards the stand and, at the far end, the impressive new changing room block.


Despite the best efforts of both teams the 0-0 outcome is predictable well before the end, but a point each is a fair reflection of the game.


Whilst there may have been no goals to enjoy, there was the most glorious of sunsets over Birch Park.
