Norton Red lion FC 4 v Sunderland TC Plastics 3 - 29/10/17 - ground #456 - Norton Sports Villiage

what a game this was ! Norton went 3-1 up just before HT with a crackin curlin shot, just mins after hittin the bar with a free kick. the visitors pulled 1 back early in the 2nd half, and also had quite alot of the half. Norton looked to of wrapped it up after goin 4-2 up with a good finish. plastics made it 4-3 in the last minute but couldn't force extra time.

Billingham The Station 2 v Shotton Comrades 1 - 17/09/17 - ground #449 - High Grange Park

for the 2nd weekend running, it was a footyless saturday followed by a sunday double. first up was a Durham Cup tie in Billingham. sunday buses aren't the best, but a half decent service from stockton - billy / boro does thankfully exist :)
it was a tough game, which 2 2nd half goals got them thru. Shotton almost grabbed a last minute goal, but the billy keeper put in a brave challenge on a 1 on 1 to keep out the visitors.so with no extra time, I had plenty time to make my way towards boro for my 2nd match :)
