Rainworth Miners Welfare v Worsbrough Bridge -- Saturday 25th August 2007
We had no idea what to expect on out first visit to Kirklington Road to see Rainworth MW take on Worsbrough Bridge in an NCEL Div One fixture.
Pleasant surprise -- not only was a programme included in the £4 entrance fee, a team sheet was also provided free of charge....never come across that before !!
Managed by my old friend Rudi Funk, Rainworth were promoted from the CML last season. For this level, the ground itself is superb. Work on the new changing room block is still on-going, but it seems around £200 grand has been well invested. The playing surface was excellent, and the place had the "feel" ... just right....plus it was a nice sunny afternoon - how different from last Tuesday!!
Even better -- Rainworth took the lead early doors with a cracking 20 yard free-kick from skipper Lee Wilkinson. It was 2-0 a few minutes later -- as a Bridge free-kick was cleared, Malc Brown collected the ball and slapped it past the visiting keeper.

H-T 2-0.
Mark Shaw added the third on 47 after some neat passing play, effectively ending the game as a contest. Bridge had a couple of chances, but Andrew Brooke in the Worsbrough goal was kept busy, making a series of good saves to keep the score respectable.
Programme was 52 pages....free, and was a decent read. I dare say we will be seen at Kirklington Road again in the very near future....
