Huddersfield and District League, Division Two
Almondbury Woolpack 4 Kirkburton 3 (att 25)
It may have been a cold wet and windy evening in Almondbury, a suburb of Huddersfield, but despite the conditions these two sides provided an excellent game.
The home side were ahead early and looked to be cruising with a 3-0 lead by the break. Kirkburton's half time team talk must have been inspiring, as they were transformed early in the second period.
With less than an hour played they'd pulled the score back to 3-2, only for a defensive lapse to allow Woolpack a fourth. That goal was ultimately decisive, as although Kirkburton scored again they couldn't manage an equaliser.
Almondbury Woolpack, named after a local pub, play at Almondbury Recreation Ground. A small and sloping pitch, and long grass, made good football a challenge, but was no impediment to the entertainment.
