Graham Street Prims 0, Holbrook Sports 5 (12/09/15 15:00)

I think it was civic pride, as opposed to my love of quality football, that saw me add the Tier 10 (East Midlands Counties Football League Premier Division) teams from Derby to my Derbyshire mission. That said, it was a lovely autumnal afternoon to take a trip across the city to see Spondon's Prims and an entertaining match was witnessed by myself and 63 other fans.
Prims welcomed local rivals Holbrook to the Baytree Cars Arena with some trepidation. The programme notes revealed that the manager had been mightily impressed by Holbrook in their previous outing.
The match went to form with high flying Holbrook thumping poor Prims. The score line could have been worse for Prims were it not for the lady linesman controversially ruling out a goal for offside in the first half. Prims only real chance came late on with the ball being fired over an empty net from 6 yards.
To be fair however the score line was a true reflection of the game. Holbrook looked better in all aspects but the cherry on their cake was the fast and strong striker who scored by being in the right place to benefit from defensive frailties, by placing a 20 yard shot past the keeper and by shrugging off a defender in the race to goal after a great through ball.
