Denaby United 1 Sheffield Utd Reserves 1

Missed chances lost Denaby United a point in their first home match with Sheffield United reserves on Saturday.

Denaby were without Eddie Fleetwood, who would have made a vast difference to the weak forward line, in which only Heavey, the new outside right, was outstanding. Denaby had a good defence, but Wilkinson, who occupied the left back position last season, would have been more useful in that berth than in the forward line.

A 3-0 victory in Denaby’s favour would have been a fair reflex. Their goal was scored by HEAVEY.
