DEARNE AND DISTRICT FC 1 V 0 BRIGG TOWN FC NORTHERN COUNTIES EAST DIVISION ONE 14th MARCH 2026

 

16th game of the season and back to the Sheffield postcode area for this longish trip to out to Goldthorpe, a small village between rotherham and Doncaster, nice sunny (warmish)day and I'm tempting fate by wearing a hoodie as the sun is quite warm luckily i took with me a top coat which im glad i did as there was a cold wind starting to blow, Dearne were going great guns in the division literally running away with the league and come the end of the season won it with 15 points more then the runners up (Worsborough bridge)
 
A nice little ground with quite a bit of parking around it, through a turnstile which also had Programmes and badges for sale all served by a lovely lady and down one side of the ground there is a small seated area with a hut selling hot drinks and cans of beer and further along there's some seating on the railway end but I'm not sure if they were off limits today, toilets just at the side of the changing rooms.
Today there was only going to be one winner really, and I'm not taking anything away from Brigg who where also challenging near the top for a playoff position, straight from the kick off Dearne controlled the game with a couple of early chances both saved by the Brigg keeper, Brigg also went close attacking down the left side and a neat cross into the box was however met by the keeper, a quick roll out to the left and 8/9 passes up field and with 40 mins played dearne go 1-0 up, from the kick off Dearne won the ball back and again went close just before the whistle for halftime.

2nd half and Brigg attack down the middle towards the railway end and see a shot turned around the post for a corner which is taken quick but nothing comes from the advantage of taking it quick. As the clock ticks down Brigg are increasing there attacks searching for an Equalising goal but Dearne defend well and with the final whistle approaching they keep the ball well knocking it around the midfield and letting Brigg chase the ball. final whistle and its another Dearne victory and an absolute certainty of being promoted as champions.

Again this was a game and ground i enjoyed visiting so it will be due another visit in the near future, as the league now stands as of October 26 Dearne are still going great guns and are topping the NCEL Premier division. onwards and upwards for the Dearne!
