Morley Town v White Rose

6.30pm  14 April 2021

Yorkshire Amateur League, Premier Division
Morley Town 5 White Rose 1 (att 23)

I could be seeing a lot of the Yorkshire Amateur League in the weeks ahead, as the competition is planning to complete it fixtures with matches scheduled up to the end of June.

Officially at least, spectators are still barred from attending games at private grounds, but there's no problem watching football at Morley. The pitch is railed off, but otherwise it's enclosed by nothing more than shallow grass banking and a road.

The premier division might sound like a league's top level, but that honour goes to the Yorkshire Amateur League's grandly-titled supreme division, making this the second tier (there's also a championship below this, so division one is actually the fourth rung).

Morley were comfortable winners. They were on top from the off but it took until 25 minutes before they went in front. Having scored one they soon added more, and were 3-0 up by half time.

The hosts got two more in the second half while White Rose, from Heckmondwike, could only manage a single strike in reply.
