Liverpool County Premier League, Premier Division
Alumni 1 FC Pilchy 3 (att 11)
From the game at Tiber Street it was took no more than 10 minutes to drive the Jericho Lane Football Hub, where Alumni have set up home.
They played on pitch three, furthest from the hub buildings and beyond pitch one which is the new home of South Liverpool FC. They were at home as well, but I'll save a visit to their pitch for another day.
Pitch two wasn't in use, and had rugby posts as well as football goals. All three pitches are artificial, and none of them overlap the grass pitch where I saw Essemmay Old Boys in 2006. The site of that is now covered by the car park.
The official spectator area for pitch three is limited to just the centre section of the near touchline, but Pilchy's supporters gathered on the far side and I wasn't challenged when I walked around the pitch perimeter.
Alumni are bottom of the table, but must have had hopes of a welcome three points when they took a 1-0 lead into the second half.
Pilchy levelled, but the deciding moment was a red card for the Alumni goalkeeper, deserved for clattering into a Pilchy player just outside the box. The resulting free kick was off target, but it didn't take long for the visitors to make their numerical advantage count, scoring twice for a 3-1 win.
