Brushes Rangers Spartak v West Didsbury

10.15am  19 October 2013

Manchester Saturday Morning League, Division One
Brushes Rangers Spartak 7 West Didsbury 1 (att 4)

One of my occasional forays into the local Saturday morning league, and a resounding win for the home side who played some good football against opponents who wilted somewhat as the game went on.

The Manchester Saturday Morning League isn't the greatest standard of football, but this was a top division game and Brushes Rangers Spartak are one the better sides in it. They thoroughly deserved this comfortable win, leading 2-0 at half time they took complete control after the break.

West Didsbury were never in it, although as well as managing one goal they did have a second half penalty saved. Had it been scored it would have been harsh on Brushes, as it looked like a dive from where I was standing.

If you believe the league's website, part of the FA's Full Time system, you'd think Brushes play at Blocksages playing fields in Dukinfield. The players do change there, but then walk to a pitch off Armadale Road. No facilities, as you'd expect at this level, and a youth team game was played on the adjacent pitch.
