Bramley Amateurs v New Armley

11am  2 June 2019

Leeds Sunday League
Bramley Amateurs 0 New Armley 7 (att 18)

Last year's Leeds Sunday League finished with just six clubs so I wasn't certain it would return for a 2019 summer season, but it got underway today with an eight-team division.

The four fixtures in the opening round were all at the Fearnville Playing Fields in east Leeds, three on adjacent pitches close to South Parkway Approach and one some distance away and out of sight.

I was last at Fearnville in July, but as I consider different pitches to be separate grounds I settled this time on a game that would also count as a 'tick', as well as a chance to watch a game after a blank Saturday.

Bramley Amateurs and New Armley played on 'pitch one' (if the pitch allocations on the league's Full Time website are to be believed). It has the benefit of a grass bank on one side, topped with trees that would have been useful if the rain that threatened had materialised.

New Armley were much too strong for Bramley Amateurs. They were ahead early, and had a 3-0 advantage by half time. The second half was low key until Bramley collapsed towards end, allowing their opponents to increase their tally to seven.
