Washington fc reserves 0 v middlestone moor 2 - northern area - ground 494 - 12/04/25

After a dodge about for couple of hours chasing new metros.  I had to settle for 555 027 felling to south shields and back to Heworth. I Then got the 4 and then for the short walk to the ground. Thankfully no farce this time!

Middlestone bossed the gane , in which they could've had a hat full. They'll more than deserve to go up on this display.  The last time I saw them, they were in the now defunct Crook & district league.  

West Auckland 4 v Middlestone Moor 2 - 30/01/16 - ground #403 - St Helens Recreation Ground

as Alston was once again a no-go area, my next nearest new ground was st helens rec. the ground is the next bus stop past bishop aucklands ground. Moors had an early 2-0 lead, but West ran out 4-2 winners. amongst the sunshine, was a 10-15 minute light snowfall in the 1st half, which was nothing compared to what Alston have had lately!
if a bus had come straight after the match, I would've caught the 15.25 train back to thornaby, but as it was, I missed it by a few mins, so til the 16.23 train, I decided to go in the Kings Head pub for a change (after a quick visit to asda), as I usually pop in the Station Inn before the train home on visits to bishop. Cider was slightly more expensive but the tunes were spot-on (Jam, Bowie etc) ! :)
