So, my new season started less than 24 hours after the last one finished. The game was between Beckett League club Ryedale and their more illustrious neighbours Pickering Town, who play in the Northern Premier League Division 1 East, which sits at Step 4 of the non-league pyramid.

As expected, it was a large winning margin for the visitors. Pickering changed all eleven players at halftime, whilst the hosts just had a ‘normal’ squad, and it was only as Ryedale tired that the game became one sided.
