Acrylic Afternoons - A trip to SHEFFIELD

1230 - PREMIER LEAGUE, BRAMALL LANE, SHEFFIELD UNITED 2-2 EVERTON, ATTENDANCE: 31,124

After 3 winless PL games, with no goals, Everton are at least off the mark...

...but another potential win got away once more. After taking the lead through Abdoulaye Doucoure, there were more than enough opportunities to put the game to bed.

Instead The Toffees had to come from behind to draw 2-2, Arnaut Danjuma equalising. However right at the end it took some goalkeeping heroics from Jordan Pickford to preserve a point.

Onward Evertonians...

1500 - SHEFFIELD & HALLAMSHIRE COUNTY LEAGUE DIVISION TWO, SHEFFIELD OLYMPIC LEGACY PARK, YOUDAN FC 2-3 THURCROFT, ATTENDANCE: 16 (h/c)

An entertaining match to watch and, as the cliche goes, a game of two halves. Thurcroft 3-0 up at the break and absolutely cruising, Bradley Mears (x2) and Morgan Corbiere scoring the goals.

Youdon came out for second half and proceeded to dominate. They almost, and really should've, pulled off an unlikely comeback but after goals from Bruce Nkomo and Brandon Chan the elusive equaliser just would not come.

The Olympic Legacy Park, which is also home to Sheffield Eagles Rugby League, and is built on the site of the old Don Valley Stadium. I've been informed there is some overlap with the pitch. Therefore does it count as a new ground "tick" or just a revisit? One for the groundhop police...
