The Match
Morley RFC 1st XV are currently near the bottom of the National Leagues (National Three North) and this match, against fellow tail-enders Macclesfield, was critical as they both strive to avoid relegation. Morley looked strong throughout and a penalty put them ahead early. They certainly had the lion's share of the possession but Macclesfield played a determined defence allowing only one try in each half, the match finished 13 - 0, a good result for Morley.
Second Round Division Cup
Sunday morning was dry and bright so we headed down the road to watch ALC Celtic play Bramley Town. Bramley got off to a strong start and were 4-0 ahead by half time, Celtic came out fighting in the second half and were unlucky not to get a goal from a number of opportunities. Bramley eventually won 6-0 and go through to the next round.
Out of the Cup
Another ALC Celtic match, unfortunately they were beaten again, Mill Lane simply played better and although Celtic scored the first goal they were 3-1 down by half time. They failed to capitalise on another goal in the second half and Mill Lane quickly increased their lead to 4-2 eventually ending 3 goals ahead.
The Match
I returned to watch local football team, ALC Celtic play again today, unfortunately they were beaten 5-1 by Crossgates WMC in the third round of the Sunday Cup. Once again, I'll keep my comments about the photography (I'm not qualified to speak about football), there's a match report on the team's website for those who are interested.
Football Virgin
Having recently become more interested in various types of sports photography I thought I'd give football a try. There's an active Sunday League club that play quite near to us so they seemed like ideal subjects, I didn't have a clue what time the match was due to start and ended up getting there about 30 minutes from the end, I'll know better next time.
