SWALLOWNEST FC 1 V 1 RAINWORTH MINERS WELFARE FC UNITED COUNTIES DIVISION ONE 11th OCTOBER 2025

 

7th game of the season and a visit to the Swall Siro the home of Swallownest FC, ive been here quite a few times as my son played in a very very good U16-18 team which unfortunately never managed to see out their games due to the dreaded Covid/lockdown,So im back on a lovely warm October Saturday the North Face jacket is staying in the car and its tee shirt weather along with a decent IPA now what more can you possibly  want?? £6 entrance, and some decent Pin badges and a raffle, club house and food cabin, the swall siro is mostly standing apart from a small seated stand just at the side of the home and away benches, a small stand behind one of the goals and a magnificent view over sheffield behind the other goal area.

pretty much an even 1st half with both sides going close with Swallownest probably having the better chances mainly through quick breaks out of defence the half ended 0-0 2nd half and rainworth had the lions share of possession but it was Swallownest that got the ball in the back of the net halfway through the 2nd half, the swalls went for a 2nd and kept up the pressure but a couple of substitutions by rainworth gave them a bit of a lift and where getting  back in the game slowly but surely, that goal came in extra time  with swallownest switching off just for a second thinking the game was in the bag and rainworth pounced to nick a goal and a point with near enough the last kick of the game. overall the draw was a fair result from a good end to end game certainly both sides gave as good as they got.
