Maltby Main (Red Shirts) v Scarborough Athletic (All Yellow)

There would have been a clash of colours tonight, but on every occasion we've covered Scarborough Athletic this season (all away fixtures), the all yellow kit has been worn!

What would be the odds on us covering a midweek match at Muglet Lane, Maltby and photographing  Acker Shaw with an official Olympic Torch. Raising money for charity, Armthorpe Welfare supporter Acker explained to us how he became one of the lucky few to be chosen to carry the torch through his home town.

Look closely at the above photograph. A visible line that stretches across the perimeter fencing to the pitch-side barrier at Muglet Lane. The dog above alas, wouldn't qualify for the whippet racing events that take place there throughout the year - see link in red
