Yorkshire Amateur League, Supreme Division
Calverley United 1 Toller 1 (att 56)
I've only seen a couple of Yorkshire Amateur League games previously, but now the top division has been designated by the FA as part of the seventh step of the non-League pyramid it's moved up my groundhopping 'to do' list.
I've only seen a couple of Yorkshire Amateur League games previously, but now the top division has been designated by the FA as part of the seventh step of the non-League pyramid it's moved up my groundhopping 'to do' list.
The league has absorbed most of what remained of the West Riding County Amateur League, a declining 'step seven' league that folded in the summer, and the top flight has been renamed as the Supreme Division.
It might have been supreme, but this was a good advert for the league. Both sides have made solid starts to the new season and a draw was a fair result after an entertaining match.
A fine individual effort by Toller's number seven gave them a first half lead, but the home side hit back after the break to level the score. Both sides had chances for a winner but there were no more goals.
Calverley United are based at Calverley Victoria Park, a pleasant public park in the Leeds suburb. It's a basic ground, with a tree-lined pitch that was taped off along both touchlines. Players change in a pavilion that's situated next to the adjacent cricket ground.
