Yoker Athletic v Maybole

2pm  24 November 2012

SJFA West Region, Super League, Division One
Yoker Athletic 3 Maybole 1 (att 68)

A day when the weather forecasts meant it was best to head north. Not just because the rain wasn't due to arrive until later in the day, but also because I had the back up of a couple of games on all-weather 3G pitches.

This was on grass though, and apart from muddy touchlines Yoker's Holm Park pitch, a few miles west of Glasgow city centre, looked in good condition, despite waterlogging and frost accounting for some other local fixtures.

The home side made a great start to the game, scoring twice in the first 10 minutes. Maybole got a goal back before half time though, and from there it could have gone either way with chances at both ends.

A third goal, 10 minutes into the second half, proved decisive. Yoker might have got a fourth, but a penalty was well saved.

A decent game, and a decent ground as well. The entrance to Holm Park is behind the goal, with a two storey clubhouse to the left and terracing behind the near goal and down one and a half sides. The centre section of the left hand terrace is covered, while the touchline beyond that and the far end are open, and out of bounds to spectators.
