A few action shots. I like these for different reasons. Nice action in the first and second, I like the framing in the third, and the light and dark in the fourth.

⭐️MAN OF THE MATCH⭐️

Filling in at right back yesterday, Ben Milburn was an integral part of a defence that shut out a tough Garforth attack, and has been given his third MOTM of the season.

Well done Ben!

70’ GOALLLLLLL!!!!!!! Milburn launches a throw into the centre, the bounce beats the defender marking Pearson who slams it into the net! 0-2

⚫️FULL TIME⚪️

A top result and a top performance to take all three points at Garforth!

📻 Dean will be live on BBC Radio Newcastle’s non-league round-up after 17:45 reflecting on this afternoon’s 2-0 win at Garforth!

Proper football

A footballer but the ball could be his head

A football coach. Or is it a Jedi Master?

And finally, another footballer-with-a-ball-for-a-heed. Quite a decent one, especially with the hair framing the heed/ball. And then Cass using The Force.

Footballers looking to the sky waiting for the ball to drop. One of them is bellowing something

I think these are nice images. I like the darkness surrounding Kane Evans in the first one. Not sure what I like about the second, but I think it's good. And the faces make the third

🗓️ Our @thenpl.bsky.social home game against Ashington has moved from New Year’s Day to Friday 2nd January 2026, kick off 7:45pm.

Bradford 0-0 Stan

A solid away point for the Stan in a match where they could have come away with more.

Thanks to BPA for the warm hospitality.

⭐️MAN OF THE MATCH⭐️

A typically towering performance from Dan Capewell earns him the honours today - but a shout-out has to go to the entire back five for earning a clean sheet against one of the league’s top teams!
