Eccles Sunday League, Division One
De La Salle 6 The Friendship 1 (att 17)
My first and probably only taste of the Eccles Sunday League this summer. I don't generally watch Sunday leagues, but I do watch summer football and the Eccles league switched to a summer season a few years ago.
De La Salle are unusual in this league for having their own ground, rather than hiring pitches provided by Salford City Council. The De La Salle Sports and Social Club, in Lancaster Road, has a large playing field as well as clubhouse, changing rooms and a car park.
On a warm and sunny Sunday morning it was a nice place to watch what was for the most part a decent game. Two first half goals put the hosts in command, but The Friendship - named after a pub in Prestwich - were better after the break and pulled a goal back early in the second half.
They had chances to equalise but didn't take them, then paid the penalty when a third home goal effectively ended the contest. With the game already lost, a late collapse by the visitors allowed De La Salle to add more goals for a harsh final scoreline.
