A satisfying weekend

After the last 3 games and with the promise of a much changed side at the Amex for Sheffield Wednesday I decided to have a weekend off following the Owls

Instead I made my way to Armthorpe in Doncaster for Swallownest FCs away game in the NCEL - with Swallownest looking to get back on track after last weekends disappointing home performance.

It was a decent following from the Swallownest regulars and we were treated to an excellent performance with much more passion on display than last week's - maybe the Christmas puddings weren't sitting quite so heavy…

Swallownest ran out 3-2 winners in a scoreline that flattered Armthorpe - a penalty towards the end giving Armthorpe the opportunity for a last 5 minutes rally.

I managed to pick up a stream of the Wednesday game during the second half which meant I was fully aware of Reachs goal to put Wednesday deservedly in front, and eventually win 1-0 to go through to the 4th round.

With both Saturday games ending well it was over to Dan and the lads from Swallownest Village to complete the full set - and they duly obliged with a 5-0 hammering of KCM Fighting Cocks in the Rotherham District Sunday League Fixture at Lodge Lane. They never really looked troubled against the bottom of the league side and the goals were scored by Pearson (2), Markell(2) and Roscamp.

All round not a bad weekend 😊
