Ossett United’s biggest crowd for almost two seasons saw the hosts take on in-form neighbours Emley in a highly anticipated local derby at Ingfield.

It was the visiting fans who went home much the happier as they saw their side win 4-0 to stay top of the NPL East, while Ossett remain bottom of the table after being unable to replicate their FA Trophy heroics from the week before.

Photographer Scott Merrylees was at Ingfield to capture the local derby action and here’s a look at his pictures from the game:
