While local games involving both Stafford Town and Stafford Rangers were on a long list of postponements due to a waterlogged pitch, there were no such problems at Bracken Edge in Leeds. True, it was a lot further than I’d planned to travel but the top teams in the NCEL Division One served up an entertaining game. After a goalless first half, leaders Staveley twice took the lead and second-placed Yorkshire Amateur twice got on level teams, snatching a vital point courtesy of a late own goal.
Goals:
