Easingwold is a small Georgian market town in
the Hambleton District of North Yorkshire, 12 miles north of York at the foot

Easingwold Town FC formed in 1892 and are one
of three founder members of the York League still playing within the league.
The club’s most successful period came in the early 1970's when they won the
Senior Cup in '72 and finished runners up in the top division in 1972-73.
The club has a senior reserve side, a third team in the Beckett League and have
a women's team - Easingwold Angels, formed in 2010. They set up a junior
section in the mid 1990s covering all age groups for both boys and girls.

After
being the better side in the opening half the home team took the lead straight
from the restart, when Josh Cryer followed in from close range after an initial effort
came back off the post. The visitors turned the match around midway through the
second half, when a long kick from the keeper found Eddie Wileman who raced
through to equalise, followed by Gary Collier sliding in from a lovely right
wing ball to make it 2-1. With ten minutes left Joe Crosby anticipated a through
ball to take the ball past the keeper and finish well for a well deserved point
for Town.

Another
drive down the A19 after finishing work - 71 miles door-to-door.
I
arrived at 12.50pm, which allowed plenty of time to walk along to the town and
call for a bevvy at the GBG listed George Hotel in the Market Place. Easingwold
is a quaint little town, with independent shops and cafes plus enough pubs for
a decent night out, so a really nice place to visit.
