Shetland Reserve League
Delting 3 Scalloway B 2 (att 30)
This is likely to be the second and final opportunity to tick off a new ground during our Shetland stay, with other scheduled fixtures all on grounds I've visited previously.
The last time I was here Delting were a top division side, but now the Brae-based club are one of five first teams in the second tier Shetland Reserve League.
They're the highest placed of the non-B teams. This win cemented their place in the top half ahead of the split, after which the top six and bottom six will complete their fixtures separately.
A final score of 3-2 flattered Scalloway, who were second best throughout. Two first half goals, the second in stoppage time, ultimately proved decisive.
Both the visitors' goals were helped by unfortunate goalkeeping, and came either side of a third Delting goal. Scalloway's crossbar was also hit twice in a game that wasn't helped by a strong and chilly wind.
Delting's pitch is behind Brae High School. There's advertising hoardings behind both goals and a pair of dugouts, although one has been reduced to little more than a bench.
