Yorkshire Christian League
Marshall Park 5 Oulton Athletic Torchbearers 1 (att 17)
I thought morning games might be thin on the ground given the clash with the King's Coronation. But the Yorkshire Christian League had matches scheduled, and Marshall Park promoted this fixture on Facebook.
They got off a poor start, conceding inside the opening minute. There wasn't much between the sides, at least until a drinks break after about 25 minutes. I don't know why the break was needed as it wasn't that warm, but the home side's pep talk worked wonders.
Within a few minutes of the restart they equalised, the first of a remarkable four goals, one a penalty, in just five minutes.
The second half was a quieter affair, with Marshall Park eventually adding a fifth goal in the final minutes.
Fixtures and venues in the Yorkshire Christian League can be hard to pin down. Marshall Park play at Kirk Lane Park in the Yeadon area of Leeds. It's a pleasant public park, with a single football pitch that feels enclosed.
