On Friday evening I received a message to say that this mornings game was due to be played on the pitch inside the running track, rather than on one of the Duke’s Meadow Playing Fields pitches here, which I had seen a game on in March 2022. The normal pitch was scheduled to host a school game in the afternoon, hence the switch to the alternate, which was good news for me!

The game was 3rd versus 8th in the league table. Haberdashers went ahead, but a 25 yarder, curled in from 25 yards saw Sennockians draw level just after the half hour mark and a one on one chance, finished at the second attempt, saw them go 2-1 up seven minutes before halftime. Two minutes into the second half it was 3-1, when a hit and hope shot from near the centre circle somehow deceived the ‘keeper. Haberdashers did grab a second goal in stoppage time, but too late to affect the outcome.
