Barkston Ash FA, Prostar Cup, First Round
Kippax 8 Boston Spartans 0 (att 19)
A win every bit as convincing as an 8-0 scoreline would suggest, and had it not been for some inspired saves by the visiting keeper then Kippax would have been into double figures.
A comfortable home win was always likely, with Kippax in the West Yorkshire League Premier Division and Boston Spartans, who had a brief spell as a West Yorkshire League club a few years ago, now seemingly playing only Sunday football. Boston never stopped trying though, and deserved a goal for their efforts.
Kippax scored two of theirs before half time, and six more after. The weather varied between bright sunshine and thunderstorms with pouring rain and hail. The first 25 minutes or so can't have been much to play in, and only the hardiest spectators stayed pitchside as the heavens opened.
There's no cover for spectators, although I managed to keep fairly dry standing under the overhanging roof of a gym, which is among the sporting and recreational facilities at the Kippax sports ground.
The football pitch is railed off, with advertising boards at each end and dugouts facing each other across the middle. It's on a plateau, with a rugby pitch below and car parking, as well as the gym building, on a steep bank above.
