Derbyshire Summer League
Charlie Bassetts 14 Darley 0 (att 27)
For the second Thursday running I ticked off a ground in the Derbyshire Summer League, and like last week it turned out to be a one-sided game.
Charlie Bassetts played under the name Smithfield Uttoxeter last year. I assume the identity change is the result of having the backing of a different pub. They also have a new home venue.
This year they're playing at Blythe Bridge High School on the edge of Stoke-on-Trent. I expected a basic pitch in a school playing field, but was surprised to find the playing area railed off on two sides, and a pair of dugouts.
The home side had a comfortable evening, scoring seven times in each half. Darley's best spell was minutes 45 to 70 when, remarkably given the final score, they didn't concede a goal.
