TONY INCENZO

It was another one of those Saturdays when I watched Hepworth United Juniors play today at Far lane, a morning when the weather got the better of the Hepworth United youngsters, who lost. Many of the young ones were in tears (on both sides) because the Arctic air mass, combined with altitude + wind chill +lack of proper cold weather wear......la,la,la

During the morning I read Tony Incenzo's Twitter pages and noted that he was heading to Penistone Church to watch their local derby against Athersley Recreation. If you don't know who Tony Incenzo is then have a look at his Twitter page and you will get the idea.

Mr Incenzo has a news slot on Talksport on Monday mornings about Non-League Football, so the Church experience will no doubt get a mention and he signed my programme.
I hope enjoyed his long round journey to South Yorkshire, his lunch at Cubley Hall, the hospitality of PCFC and the game.

0-1 down, the Church recovered against a lively Rec side by winning 4-2 and maintained their position at the top end of the Northern Counties East League Premier.

Athersley Recreation FC, Geoff Horsfield's starting club, founded in 1979 as Athersley North Juniors (The Penguins) were named as present in 1986.

Over the watershed I saw the second half of a victory for Hepworth United 1st team, in their Sheffield and Hallamshire County League Premier. Home team manager Bob Wright, on crutches after a major hip operation, saw his lads grind out a 2-1 win, much needed as they wobble at the lower end of the division. As you will know this is their highest pyramid rank in their history.
All credit to them for their victory against Oughtibridge War Memorial FC who have nice badges! Sadly not a lot to write about them though, no research material as far as I can find apart from an active Ladies section.
