My 2018-19 football season got off to an unexpected start with a Saturday morning kick off in Stapleford in Nottingham.I was in the city for our annual lads bevvy and races trip without any football planned, however England's progress in the World Cup meant all the pre-season fixtures were rescheduled to avoid the big clash at 3pm.
Archers Field was the venue as Beeston Rylands arranged a pre-season kickabout at the ground, with fellow Notts Senior League side Bilborough Town.
Both teams put on a good show in the boiling heat, with some good goals amongst the eight on show, the best strike coming from the Bilborough number 2 who chipped the 'keeper from the halfway line. Overall an enjoyable game and a good work out for both teams.
In the company of Darren Turnbull and Mark Wilkins
