Teamsport 90 v Newman Athletic

31 May 2012
Catforth & District Summer League, Division Two West
Teamsport 90 3 Newman Athletic 1 (att 7)

The emergence of summer league football is a sure sign the season is finally drawing to a close. Teamsport's home, a playing field next to the Bourne Poacher pub in Thornton Cleveleys, was the first of three new venues in this year's Catforth League that I hope to get to during the next few weeks.

Hopefully the football at the other will be a bit more entertaining, as in truth this wasn't the best 90 minutes I've watched this season. Teamsport were the better side, and were 2-0 at half time. They added a third towards the end, before a last minute penalty gave Newman some reward for their hard work.

As expected, the ground is typically basic for this level of football. It's just an open pitch towards the corner of a large playing field. I was able to get a pre-match cup of coffee from makeshift cafe near the changing rooms, but that had more to do with Blackpool FC girls' teams having a coaching session nearby than anything to do with Teamsport.
