OWAH BAH'T THAT, THEN?

Jordan Coduri of Penistone Church FC made footballing history yesterday when he scored the first goal for his newly formed international team, Yorkshire. Playing in the "country's" first ever match against the Isle of Man, Coduri, a 25 year old midfielder, notched his first international goal, following on a through ball from his captain Pat McGuire. Earlier Sean Ripley missed a first half penalty to put the Tykes ahead.

200 match programmes, collectors' items, sold rapidly as 500 attended the match at Hemsworth Miners Welfare FC. The local Brass Band was double booked so the occasion was not graced with the Yorkshire anthem, "Ilkley Moor bah't Tat". There were plenty of pies and peas, the raffle was offered with a pack of Stella, 4 can of John Smiths and  a Box of Yorkshire tea.

The IOM, known as Ellan Vannin, are founder members of CONIFA, the FA that supports smaller nations and independent states. They went ahead in the second half only to be pegged back by the White Rose team.

The Yorkshire International FA intends to host a six team tournament in, May hoping to attract teams such as Tibet and the Chagos Islands.
Here's one I did earlier.
