Huddersfield YMCA v Bay Athletic

6.15pm  28 August 2013

West Riding County Amateur League, Premier Division
Huddersfield YMCA 3 Bay Athletic 0 (att 56)

It's very early days in the West Riding County Amateur League, but local bragging rights were at stake as two Huddersfield rivals clashed at newly-promoted YMCA's pleasant Laund Hill ground.

But with a large crowd gathered to watch, the opening 45 minutes were utterly forgettable. Bay had a shot tipped over the bar by the home keeper, but other than that little of note happened.

The second half was, thankfully, much better. Huddersfield YMCA took control with a couple of early goals, and made sure of the win with a third goal later in the half. Bay had their moments, but once they went behind they didn't look likely to come back.

YMCA's Laund Hill ground caters for more than just football, but the football pitch is enclosed separately from the rest. It's railed off, with a few advertising boards and a pair of dugouts large enough to house a few supporters alongside subs and coaches.
