New Armley v Bramley Town

11am  29 July 2018

Leeds Sunday League
New Armley 3 Bramley Town 3 (att 9)

A quirk of the fixtures on the days I've headed into Yorkshire for matches in the Leeds Sunday League's summer season means Bramley Town have featured on all three occasions.

Last time I saw them win 14-0, although the league website still insists they scored 15, and goal difference is likely to be the determining factor as they and Whitkirk go into next week's final league games level on points.

The be fair the 'ghost goal' probably won't be crucial as Bramley are nine goals better, but Whitkirk's final game is against Crown and Anchor, the side who were thrashed by Bramley.

New Armley provided a much stiffer test in this game at Fearnville Pitches in East Leeds. Bramley were ahead early on but New Armley soon got back into the game and were 2-1 up at half time. Their third goal, just after the break, looked to have settled things but Bramley battled back for a crucial point.

Since my last Leeds Sunday League matches Thorner FC have withdrawn both their sides from the competition, leaving just six clubs. All of them were in action on different pitches at Fearnville, and I chose to watch this match mainly because it was first to kick off.

It was a good choice as the two sides provided some decent entertainment in horribly wet and windy conditions.
