After a metro and a bus or 2 , I arrived in Spennymoor to tick off another cricket and footy ground 

They basically back onto each other,  but its a long way round when the school is closed !  Spennymoor was cricket ground 74, not much room to walk around unfortunately. 

Spennymoor youths played up tudhoe last time i saw them, now it sems they've found a base here , which also has grass pitches.  

Shattered I got 2 buses and a metro home 

South Moor afc reserves 1 v Peterlee and Horden cwfc 0 - south moor sports club - ground 503 - 09/08/25

On way to the footy I ticked off Sacriston CC - ground 73 -  watching their 2nd XI v Eppleton 2nd XI 

Then it was another bus to south moor. It was a ground that had alluded me until now . 

All in all , 1 metro and 5 buses there (with a stop.off or 3)  , 2 buses and 1 metro home 

Forest Hall 1 v heaton stannington a 7 - east palmersville sports pavillion - ground 498 - 26/04/25

Thankfully it's cricket season again, and I'm getting out and about this time!

Newcastle city CC 2nd XI v Seaham Harbour CC 2nd XI  - ground 71 - 26/04/25

After a bit of shopping,  I got the metro to wansbeck road for a short walk to the ground. 

I'd forgotten how nice it is to sit and watch cricket  !  At around 1.25 I made my way back to the metro to head to my footy game of the day. 

Forest Hall 1 v heaton stannington a 7  -  east palmersville sports pavillion  -  ground 498 - 26/04/25 

I arrived at palmersville after changing at south gosforth,  then walked up to the ground. 

An eventful game on a  nice sunny day and another heavy defeat for the home team. My legs were ready to  give way by time  I returned back to the metro.  Downed more co codomal to help me get home, knackered but thankfully safely.
