Catforth and District Summer League, Division Two
Wrea Green 5 Wharles 3 (att 25)
I expect this to be my final game of 2020/21, and ending my season with a Catforth Summer League game feels like another step back towards something approaching normality.
Wrea Green are newcomers to the league, and are a little unusual in not having an existing side playing either Saturday or Sunday football in the regular season.
I've driven past Wrea Green's village green in the past, but have never seen goalposts or any sign that it's been a football ground. The pitch is on edge of the green, overlapping the outfield of a cricket pitch, and well away from an attractive duck pond.
Wrea Green went into this bottom of the league, and Wharles were top. The reverse fixture ended 8-0 to Wharles, so the home side's first half performance was a surprise.
They dominated their visitors and accurate finishing gave them a 4-0 lead by half time. Wharles rallied after the break, getting the score back to 4-2, before a penalty made it 5-2 to Wrea Green. A late goal back for the visitors counted for little.
So, that's most likely it for my 2020/21 football season, but my 2021/22 season could begin as early as next week.
