After a disappointing November the Mens 3s were looking forward to a home game in December as a springboard to a strong second half of the season. Preparations went well, with Carl on the alcohol free red wine the night before and laying off the curry for a change. Fozzy had held back from any marathon running, Mark and David had managed to avoid working all night and Greg had cancelled his work invitation to Read more
On a beautiful fresh, crisp and most importantly above freezing December day, Adel ladies’ 1st XI travelled to Cheshire to play currently EH Trophy holders Alderley Edge. The team hold fond memories of the last time these two played, however this time round Adel would hope to not need last minute heroics to seal victory.

Airedale showed initially the counter was on when they broke through on goal however the defence delt with it effectively and for the rest of the half Rob was a spectator. Finally Read more
Match Report by Damian Greig. East coast anyone???? Apparently not was the answer from too many of the Phwoars as a late start at Driffield approached.
