York League, Junior League Cup Quarter-Final
Malt Shovel 4 Bubwith White Swan 1 (att 32)
With Malt Shovel having won division two of the York League and Bubwith finishing just two places off the bottom this looked like being a comfortable home win. Eventually it was, but it was late on before the outcome was settled.
The visitors opened the scoring inside the first minute, and with a lead to protect they defended valiantly. Malt Shovel equalised before half time, but the visiting keeper had a terrific game and it took 65 minutes before Bubwith went behind.
The home side's second goal, after almost constant pressure, ended the visitors dogged resistance, and two more goals (out of plenty more chances) gave a scoreline which reflected the play but was harsh on Bubwith.
I was last at Malt Shovel's ground, off Denison Road, Selby, in 2017 for a pre-season cup tie that was played on the second pitch. Like most groundhoppers I can be pedantic about such things, so a return to tick off the fully-railed main pitch was a necessity.
