Underway
After a month of friendlies the 23/24 football season is now properly underway, at least in non league Steps 5 and 6.
The latest train strike limited my choice of games a little, so I stuck to walking distance and headed a mile across the valley to Thackley for their NCEL Premier League fixture against Tadcaster Albion. Tadcaster suffered relegation from the Northern Premier League last season and were therefore back in the NCEL for the first time since they were champions in 15/16. Tadcaster fans seemed confident for the year ahead, but it was Thackley who made the most of their chances and secured a 2-0 win.
Today’s image features a corner at the ventilation shaft end, with Thackley in red and Tadcaster yellow. The ball has disguised itself as a chimney pot.
Small White, Small Tortoiseshell and Holly blue butterflies fluttered past me as I was watching the match.
