Alston Moor Sports Club 5 v Darlington Travellers Rest 0 - 28/05/16 - ground #412 - Tyne Willows Playing Fields









I made my way to Darlo on the 10.02 train, which gave my ample time to do the 45 min walk to Cockerton, and even had time for pepsi in The Travellers Rest pub. Met up with the team in the car park & got my lift to Alston, a ground not doable by public transport, unless its a sunday!
 Thanks to an end of season fixtures balls up, this game had to be played on this day. The Travs were players short due to holidays & mountain of injuries. They Kicked off the game with only 9 men, the hosts needed a win to gain promotion ahead of Evenwood Town. From the start they did nowt but moan & hack their way through the game. The ref must've forgot his cards as alston deserved more than a few ! The Travs played well & can be proud of the way they played, despite the scoreline.
after the game, we headed back to Darlo, I was dropped off at sainsburys to get the cans in. which was nice. got to the station for the 17.31 train back to Thornaby.
So, thats the Crook & District league completed, 6th North East League completed in total :)
