First Look At the Toolstation Western League 9th October 2013

Sorry for the delay in posting a bit about my trip to Westbury v Bradford Town but its been a bit hectic recently.

Anyhow a whole week at my head office in Trowbridge gave me the chance to visit a ground and a league i'd not seen before,Westbury Utd were hosting league leaders and local rivals Bradford Town,I must say in my defence that due to the incompetence of the Tamron service department i have been missing my 70-200 f2.8 for 6 weeks and so was restricted to the Tamron 17-50 f2.8,not exactly a sports lens.

On a pleasant evening I and a couple of colleagues travelled down from Trowbridge,got slightly lost when a closed road confused the Sat Nav but parking right outside the ground was easy and we found a pleasant little ground awaiting us

 Although as I have said previously it was a very pleasant evening one of mu colleagues had forgotten her coat so despite being half my size she borrowed my rather unflattering coat

From the kick off Bradford showed their title credentials by dominating play and itb was no surprise when they took the lead after about 20 minutes,their players unlike my lads were generous enough to celebrate on my side of the pitch rather than running off into the distance as is my usual experience

As the game wore on Westbury had a few half chances but never really looked like drawing level and it was no surprise when soon after half time Bradford scored a second and really just ran down the clock to collect 3 well deserved points

A couple of amusing sights were firstly the cafe culture seating in front of the "Stand behind their goal and secondly the arrival  of the local cycling club to watch the second half from behind the goal

All in all a very pleasant evening at a welcoming club,i would say that Step 6 in this area is slightly below the standard of Step 6 in the West Midlands but it was an entertaining and pleasant evening
