Having seen the original game fall foul of the weather just after Christmas, and with the seemingly endless rain of recent weeks, it was good to get out to Hallam versus North Ferriby in the Northern Counties East League on Tuesday evening at Sandygate.
There was a warm welcome at the world's oldest ground, £5 adult admission and a good atmosphere in the bar as supporters of both sides mixed.
It was also positive to see just how many fans followed the re-born North Ferriby side across to Sheffield, testament to the community spirit that the new club have sought to establish.
A hard-fought game in difficult conditions ended 1-1. Both sides are at home this coming Saturday, Hallam against Ollerton Town and North Ferriby hosting Hall Road Rangers.
