Grassington United v Settle United

22 May 2012
Craven & District League, Premier Division
Grassington United 6 Settle United 0 (att 10)

The first game I've seen in the Craven League, but with other venues in equally idyllic locations I'm sure it won't be my last.

The football wasn't bad either, especially for a late season game with little at stake other than Settle's forlorn hopes of finishing off the bottom. Grassington scored some good goals on their way to a comfortable win, although Settle had their moments.

Grassington's Town End Field ground is close to the centre of the attractive North Yorkshire village. It's basically just a village recreation ground, bordered on one side by a children's play area, and on the other by grass banking and the changing rooms.

A few park benches provide the seats, and views of the surrounding countryside provide an extra attraction if, unlike tonight, the football's not up to much.
