Match abandoned
Yardley found that they only had half a team available for the original game and so instead of cancelling it was decided to mix the Yardley and West Brom players and play an informal game, which in the end was anjoyed by all. Better than no game at all!!
Seriously, what in very concerning is that with the first league game just two weeks away, Yardley could only field half a team. It could be a long hard season ahead – that may well yet result in dire consequences.
