Whitby Tn 4 v Matlock Tn 1
NPL Prem
Att: 473
Referee: Mark Bell
Call me spoilt, but this was my first bus trip in twenty years, around the time Nottm changed from buses to trams. And isn't it a different world, looking out of the side window, not the windscreen? I also aged twenty years in the company of the MTFC Junior Supporters, me foolishly sitting mid bus!
The snows of the North Yorkshire Moors, the soaring gulls, and what might have been a couple on very friendly terms, standing by a copse (or they might just have been holding one another up to take it in turn to clean their wellingtons!).You see more, but kinda see less looking to the front.
Whitby is great. Fish breakfasts, lunches and high teas. You can see why Dracula liked it so ! If you've an afternoon free, it's recommended.
It's Goal of the Month time too folks! Write down your Whitby favourites, and place them in order. For me it was ACBD, they were all crackers. Not sure how, because the pitch was very difficult. Well done to Whitby for getting the game on. Well done to Whitby for their goals scored.
Mr Bell was excellent, with a capital E. Five cautions, and all nailed. His willingness to let the game breath suited this game, arguably most games, and the league in general. A lesson too to some colleagues, perhaps?
His Assistants Mr Mitchell and Mr Tones had their moments. Mr Bell did cover the odd idiosyncrasy, though as a team they generally held it together well, and contributed to an excellent afternoon's entertainment.
Well done x 3
