Floodlit Pitch

  Borrowash Victoria & Holbrook Sports Battle For a 2nd Round Spot. The Main Stand at Borrowash Vics. It’s October, the nights are drawing in, Winter is round the corner, so it’s time for the Derbyshire Senior Cup. This season I’m starting at the wonderful Asterdale Bowl, aka The Anderson Electrical Arena, home of Borrowash Victoria, for their 1 st  Round tie against Holbrook Sports. The evening before, the competition started with the other two 1st round ties which saw Gresley Rovers see off Sandiacre Town, 5-0 and South Normanton Athletic travelling to the north of the County to play New Mills. South Normanton winning that one 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Vics & The Brookies are both at step 7, Holbrook in the Central Midlands Alliance South while Borrowash are members of the Nottinghamshire Senior League Premier, and there’s a little story about that. Knowing they were going down to step 7, Vics requested that they be placed in the Central Midlands Alliance League
