Ashby Ivanhoe v Desford

3pm  31 August 2013

Leicestershire Senior League, Premier Division
Ashby Ivanhoe 1 Desford 4 (att 54)

Both sides were unbeaten going into this game, but a very impressive Desford won at a canter, scoring twice in each half before Ashby managed a late consolation goal.

The result maintains Desford's 100% winning start, and I think they'll take some stopping in the league this season.

This is Ashby's second season at their new venue, the NFU Sports Ground in Lower Packington Road on the outskirts of Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It is, however, the first season on the current pitch, which is closest to the changing rooms and clubhouse which are behind the goal.

The pitch is roped off, through permanent wooden posts, and there's a pair of dugouts. Recently-erected fencing separates the playing area from the car park, and while there's no cover for spectators it's a neat and tidy ground. It's clearly a work in progress though, and plans displayed in the clubhouse suggest floodlights are on the agenda.
