Whitkirk Wanderers 1-1 Field
West Yorkshire Associaton FL - Premier Division
Saturday 29th December 2018
Whitkirk is a suburb 4 miles east
of Leeds city centre. The Domesday Book recorded a church belonging to
the manor of Gipton and Colton, which refers to the one in Whitkirk, as its the
only known medieval church in the Leeds area. The place was first mentioned in
the mid-12th century in the Early Yorkshire Charters as ‘Witechirche’, meaning
‘white church'.
Whitkirk Wanderers formed in 1938
and have played in the West Yorkshire Association League since the 1990s.
Their best season performance came in 1997-98 when they were Premier Division
runners-up. Last term they won promotion back to the top league after four
years in Division One.

At the sports club entrance is
the pavilion and social club which faces towards the cricket pitch. There is
also tennis courts and a bowling club, with the football ground at the bottom
end of the complex. The ground is fully enclosed and railed off, with a brick
dugout on each side. The changing room block has a snack bar, which serves a
brew in a proper mug through a tiny hatch.

The hosts took an early lead when Akeel Miller stumbled home the opener, before the visitors quickly replied with a
cracking 25 yard effort from Josh Milner.
Whitkirk were the better team in
the second half and should have won it, but Craig Maynard failed to convert a spot
kick with fifteen minutes remaining, with the Field ‘keeper getting down well
to save at his left hand post.

Picked up Lee & Katie in
Houghton-le-Spring at noon.
Good to meet up with “The ‘ull
‘oppers” Dave and Phil at the ground.
The early kick-off and the easy
route home meant I was back at HQ at 5.40pm, after I dropped off my travel
companions.
