It’s fair to say that Leeds Adel Ladies’ 1st XI have been on quite a journey in recent seasons, breaking records and claiming some rather impressive statistics. 763 days since their last home league defeat they welcomed Brooklands Poynton to Church Lane on a beautiful quintessentially British autumnal day.

Alderley Edge is a village in Cheshire and is one of the most expensive and sought-after places to live in the UK outside central London (Wikipedia). Unfortunately the Skipper managed to get us to the clubhouse an hour early, so we enjoyed a pre-match beer in the afternoon sun.
