Sheffield County Senior League, Premier Division
Millmoor Juniors 3 Handsworth 1 (att 58)
These are two of at least five sides closely bunched at the top of the league, and they produced a very entertaining and high quality game.
Millmoor established their supremacy during a first half in which they went 3-0 ahead. They had clinical finishing to thank for the lead, and Handsworth's unjustified complaints about the match officials (a young linesman in particular) became tiresome.
Handsworth set up a good second half by scoring soon after the break, but surprisingly there were no further goals, despite chances for both sides, and Millmoor claimed the points.
The ground, Grange Park, is a credit to the club, who as their name suggests have a thriving youth set up. The clubhouse, housing changing rooms, club room and tea bar, has a covered overhang in front, although it's some distance from the main pitch.
The pitch is partly railed off and partly roped, with a grass bank on the far side giving a good view. There's a second, smaller, adult pitch (which today staged a local league cup semi final), and a couple of small junior pitches. It has the feel of a club who are on the up.
