Liverpool Old Boys Amateur League, League One
Redgate Rovers 6 Kingsford 0 (att 14)
Redgate Rovers failed to finish last season, in the West Cheshire League, but have restarted a senior team at the considerably lower level of the Liverpool Old Boys Amateur League.
They're in the league's third tier, which wouldn't normally be on my groundhopping radar if it wasn't for that fact that their home games are all scheduled as lunchtime kick offs.
The team's Twitter account says they're playing at the former Formby FC ground. That might be the aim, but for now they play Formby's Smithy Green Recreation Ground.
It's a public park with a single pitch and a fortified changing room building. When I arrived a youth game was in progress, but once that ended it was only a matter of minutes before my game got underway.
It didn't take Redgate long to open the scoring, and a penalty doubled their lead before half time. Kingsford had their moments, but they were no match for the home side.
Four second half goals, including a second spot kick, sealed a comfortable win for Redgate.
