Adel 6 : 1 Kingston-Upon-Hull Adel Men’s 1st XI took full advantage of bottom of the league Kingston-Upon-Hull 2nd team on a chilly day at AWMA. Most other games in the division were cancelled, but the new Adel pitch held up well in the face of polar blasts, allowing the 1st team to notch up a healthy victory.

Young players and older more experience hard hitting players on both sides made this game a challenge. Great Read more
Adel. 4:30pm. Flood lights on. Foggy weather. Curtailed vision. 2 umpires dressed in fluorescent yellow. 2 frozen Adel spectators wrapped in layers of blankets and jackets in the dugout. 2 frozen puppies, too cold to yelp in support. 11 distinct orange Adel 3s ladies starting. 10 white Colne Valley players opposing.
