Billingham United 3 v south moor afc reserves 5 - bede sixth form college - ground 505

Got the train down to billingham,  then had a nice walk up to the ground via Tesco for refreshments for the train back home. 

I'd already done the 3G cage here , so I've now ticked the grass pitch for a game aswell. 

An entertaining game which was 1-1 after 2 minutes!  South moor took the lead again with a well taken goal half way through the first half, then made it 3-1 just before HT. The goals flowed in the 2nd half too.

Wynyard village v fc Hartlepool reserves were playing on the 3G today, I watched some of that game at the same time. 

South Shields Sunday Soccer ! - Bents Recreation Ground - Ground 504 - 10/08/25

A 20 min bus ride on the 24 and a nice walk along the promenade to the ground was just what was required for a sunny Sunday morning.  

There were 3 games on that kicked off at 10.30 , all Sunderland Sunday league,  as a the old south shields Sunday league disbanded with the teams that remained joining Sunderland league.
