 BBC - Stoke & Staffordshire - Junior Football - Brocton 1-2 Penkridge
Typically for this spirited Penkridge side, though, they never let their heads drop and as the half time break approached and no more goals had gone in, it was clear that they were far from out of it.
Brocton fought back, but now it was clear that the spring had gone from their step and the sheer hard work in keeping a resurgent Penkridge away from the danger area left them little in reserve to mount any meaningful attacks.
Despite a late rally, Penkridge found their way past the Brocton back line but last ditch tackles and brave goal keeping kept the scores as they were and the right at the death a fine run down the left flank by Frank Downey produced a gilt edged chance in the box.

 Bevan Craddock, Penkridge Town Crier, Staffordshire, England
So it would appear that Bevan is Penkridge's fifth Town Crier (unless someone finds others!) and that the tradition goes back over 400 years and is one of the very earliest Towns to have had a Town Crier.
Although Bevan's regalia, or uniform, is traditional - a red and fl cloak and cape with gold braid, waistcoat, jabot, red breeches, white stockings and buckled shoes - William and Thomas Rostance probably wore a more sober working uniform consisting of boots and gaiters, a dark coat and perhaps a brighter waistcoat and top hat.
Penkridge's Town Crier has attended two World Championships, on the Isle of Wight and in Markham, Ontario, where he proclaimed Penkridge to the World.

I even patted his head and in a state of shocked awe stumbled off towards the pretty village of Lapley, where a convenient pub served up a welcome pint of Marston's Bitter that helped me come to terms with my first positive farm dog experience of the whole walk.
To finish off the day, the Staffordshire Way wandered around the outside of yet more farmers' fields, through a nature reserve called Bickford Meadows and along the road towards the distinctive viaduct of Penkridge; and so ended one of those days that every long walk has, a filler.
