For the matches yesterday, it was easier to plan the choice of matches, as the schedule for the first couple of rounds were posted on the tournament website on Friday evening. Today, it would be a case of turn up and hope for the best, as there was no update, although I did know matches were scheduled for 09.00, 11.00, 13.30 and 15.30, but just wouldn’t know who would play who, or which pitches they would be on. As I still needed Pitch Nos 1,2 and 6 at Aston University and Pitch 7 (the 3G Pitch) at the Wolverhampton University Walsall Campus, I decided to make the trip north again and aim to arrive in time for the 09.00 start and see how it went.

As it turned out, the Youth Tournament  was held on Pitches 2-5 at Aston University, with the Over 35’s Veterans playing on the two pitches at the Wolverhampton University Walsall Campus. So, this left Pitch 1 and 6 here at Aston University to host the conclusion of the main tournament and luckily, for me, I hadn’t watched a match on either of these yesterday!

This was very familiar territory for Sikh Hunters, as this is the pitch that they have played on this season in winning Division 2 of the West Midlands (Regional) League. They coasted through to the final, wrapping the game up by halftime.
