Maidenhead United 1-3 York City
National League
York Road

Worked hard for that and got what we deserved in the end with two injury time goals. Worth the delay getting to the game. #YCFC

York Knights 2-44 Hull KR
Challenge Cup 3rd Round
The Megadome

Winning 2-0 for 20 minutes, then KR showed why they were Super League Runners Up with their speed, strength and power. Good performance regardless and hopefully no injuries. We go again at Oldham next week ⚔️⚔️⚔️

Keighley Cougars 12-72 York Knights
Challenge Cup 2nd Round
Cougar Park

Loving watching this Knights side at the moment. Fact paced and strong. Cougar Park is still a sensational old school ground of which are dwindling. Onto Super League runners up Hull KR next round… #RugbyLeague

Hull KR 12-26 York Knights
Amsterdam Challenge
Sportpark de Eendracht

What a trip out. Whoever decided to take Rugby League to the Netherlands is a genius. Looking forward to heading back next year too. Now to push on this season ⚔️

Oldham Athletic 0-2 York City
National League
Boundary Park

One of my favourite grounds sees an excellent performance for the Minstermen. Talk about a reaction. Controlled yet pacy. Male and Hunt superb. Now to begin the march. #YCFC

York City 1-2 Sutton United
National League
The Megadome

A deserved defeat and the first meeting between the two sides that didn’t finish 2-2. Improvement needed #YCFC

Tonbridge Angels 1-1 Chippenham Town
National League South
Longmead Stadium

With York’s game at Maidenhead off, we headed to Tonbridge where an uninspiring draw was no matter due to the superb set up at Tonbridge. Great ground, great people #Groundhopping

⛪️ Southwark Cathedral

Had fifteen minutes to kill between trains at London Bridge so had a quick pop out to Southwark Cathedral. Still standing from 1106 #Cathedral

📍Ribblehead Viaduct

A Victorian Viaduct that spans 400m across the Ribble Valley. A stunning piece of architecture that’s prominence can be seen for miles around.

Fresh but stunning walk in the Yorkshire Dales last week. The highest point in the Dales at 736m #Walking #Yorkshire #Hiking

Gainsborough Trinity 1-0 York City
FA Trophy 4th Round

Disappointing afternoon with eight changes made but hopefully long term it’ll do us good. Superb ground #ycfc #groundhopping

Huddersfield Town 1-1 Burton Albion
League One
Kirklees Stadium

Bottom of the league Burton came and did a job on Huddersfield. Town deserved of a late equaliser but will have been disappointed not to take all three #Groundhopping #HTAFC #BAFC

Golaccio sadly closed down in Leeds in 2022. A superb pub based around Italian football. Unique to the UK. Very sad it closed down.

Imagine my happiness to have stumbled across it in Huddersfield today, reopened

Avro A-A Trafford
Northern Premier League Division One West
Whitebank Stadium

A medical incident in the crowd followed by the fog rolling in ended with the referee abandoning the game at 2-0 to the visitors. The food was quite simply incredible, the ground less so #Groundhopping

Tamworth 1-1 York City
National League
The Lamb Ground

Disappointing and frustrating. I like the Lamb Ground despite its size with its small roof over the away end adding that little bit of character. #YCFC #Groundhopping

Valencia 0-1 Rayo Vallecano
La Liga
Mestalla

Quite simply and incredible ground for a quick trip over last weekend. #Groundhopping

York City 4-0 Yeovil Town
National League
The Megadome

An ill-disciplined Yeovil put to the sword by the Minstermen, on to Altrincham. #Groundhopping

England 5-0 Republic of Ireland
Nations League Group B
Wembley Stadium

A second half full of goals sees England promoted to the top tier of the Nations League. EIEIEIO #EWEL

Forest Green Rovers 2-0 York City
National League
The New Lawn

Disappointing, but we move on. FGR still one of those clubs I’ve always irrationally despised #ycfc

Brimscombe & Thrupp 2-2 Slimbridge
Hellenic Premier Division
The Meadow

A first foray into the Hellenic league for myself and a great 90minutes at the lovely Meadow. Sunk at the bottom of the bank by a river and a deserved Desmond for the home side

Stroud

A quiet village with not much about it. Ended up at the Fresh Standard Brew. Co. Wasn’t blown away by it and the music choice for such an isolated venue
