Oh please, let Thackley take on Nostell Miners Welfare at Dennyfield on Saturday, although the signs are not great, with further heavy showers forecast, we really do need to play some matches at home. It was on the 8th December that Dennyfield last heard the patter of football boots, which is well over seven weeks ago now.

With the hope that the Bradford area misses out on any substantial rainfall over the next couple of days, Thackley will be playing Nostell on Saturday. The two teams met in October at Crofton and the home side went into the break a goal to the good after scoring early on. Thackley hit back with four second half goals to claim all three points.

The Welfare are below Thackley in the league having amassed 23 points from the 28 matches they have played.

We have our fingers crossed and are looking forward to welcoming Nostell to Dennyfield on Saturday.
