Strathclyde Saturday Morning Amateur League, Premier Division
Tynecastle AFC 4 Shawbridge 0 (att 12)
It takes quite an effort to get from Manchester to Glasgow in time for a game kicking off at 10am, but it was worthwhile for the chance to visit an extra ground and to see the side who are top of the league.
Tynecastle have dropped just two points so far this season, and it was easy to see why as they played some good football on their way to a very comfortable win. Shawbridge weren't bad, but they rarely looked like scoring and two goals in each half were enough for the home side.
Saturday morning league grounds are rarely likely to be anything other than the most basic of pitches, and Tynecastle's home, at Lochend Community High School in the Easterhouse area of of Glasgow, lived down to my expectations.
I thought they might use the enclosed 3G pitch, but instead played on "pitch 5" in a large playing field behind the school buildings. "Pitch 3" was hosting a Glasgow and District Saturday Morning League match between Glasgow United and Garnethill Rovers.
