Barnard Castle Redwell Rangers 0 v Crook Town Wanderers 8 - 25/08/18 - ground #468 - Teesdale School

2 new teams joined the C&D league this season, Redwell Rangers and Darlo GSOB (which I've got planned to do on 08/09). This was my 3rd BC ground, all C&D league ticks, so it was an arriva day ticket day again. Redwell's 1st 2 games of the season saw them concede 19 goals & score 1. Crook were 3 up in 10 mins, so they must've feared the worst. Fair play to them tho, they give it a good go and HT was 5-0. Crook could've had more if not for some excellent saves.
next, it was cricket time, and a Darlo & district league tick (of which I've got a few planned in the coming weeks), I decided to do Cliffe CC, as Piercebridge was on the way back :)

Season 2018/19 - 2 new grounds, 16 goals.

Stanhope Town 3 v Crook Town Wanderers 2 - 09/04/16 - ground #407 - Bondisle Playing Field

abit of an early start for this one, mainly due to the infrequencies of the trains & buses (and connections!).
did the 10.28 from Thornaby - bishop, which gave me around 40 mins to wander around til the 12.00 bus to Stanhope, which took 45 mins. after a short walk around, I made my way to the ground for the 1.30 k.o, which is behind Stanhope railway station on the heritage Weardale line. 
it was a gorgeous day & the footy didn't disappoint either. Stanhope led 2-0 at HT, but Crook started the 2nd half with a rocket up thier arse & pulled it back level, but the home team won it. a brilliant game full of crackin goals & bad misses!! I left abit early so to catch the 3.00 bus back to bishop, to catch the 16.23 train back to Thornaby, which got me home about 2hrs earlier :)

season 2015/16 - 28 new grounds , 136 goals.
