My 3rd game of the 2025/26 season takes me to another new ground to add to my list, this time I'm venturing to the other side of Barnsley, once I'd made it across Sheffield it was still quite a way to go, once I'd done left turns, right turns, across a roundabout, had a boy racer driving up my arse in a 20mph zone i finally got there and found a quiet side street to park in just across from the ground, paying at the turnstile which was a wooden hut which leads out to the clubhouse and the back of one of the goal areas, the outside of the club area was pretty busy with a lot of families and kids on the playground which was to one side, bar area as well but i couldn't be arsed with getting a beer, i had a little walk down one side towards the main stand which was situated quite a way away from the pitch so i decided to stand behind one side of the penalty area which started to fill up mostly with Stocksbridge Park fans
from kick off it was very clear to see who was going to win this one with Stockbridge park a couple of steps higher in the pyramid (i think) being dominant from the start and pushing for an early goal came close a couple of times but Wombwell held out until just before half time and the game went in at the interval 0-1 to Steels. 2nd half and Steels made it 0-2 twenty minutes into the half, Wombwell made it 1-2 ten minutes later and it was game on to snatch an equalizing goal with extra time added on Steels snatched a winning goal to make it 1-3 to make it through to the next round. overall quite a good game with Wombwell certainly giving as good as they got. A decent crowd of over 400 watched this entertaining game, only kind of gripe or moan was the constant noise from the Go Cart track behind which sort of got a bit mind-numbing after a while but otherwise a nice little ground and although it was quite a tricky journey it was worthwhile.
