This is the inaugural campaign for United, following the merger of long-standing Clubs Town and Albion respectively. They look sure to be strong and, as this is their initial competitive home match, backed by a large crowd. Ossett opened with a 3-1 win at Loughborough Dynamo on the opening weekend, with a brace from Aiden Chippendale and a goal for Adam Priestley.

We, of course, were held 1-1 by our Lincolnshire neighbours Spalding United. Not the most fluent of displays but very early days and, with all our new signings, it may take a little while for everyone to settle down. Brody Robertson (pictured in the process of scoring at Kidsgrove Athletic) ensured a share of the spoils with a 78th minute equaliser.

So, it has all the makings of an exciting encounter. The supporters' bus is now full but for anyone driving, I have outlined the recommended route and admission details below:
