Ferryhill Town 1 v Shildon Railway 4 - 14/09/19 - ground #473 - Mainsforth Sports Complex

51 Saturdays after my last footy match, it was time to get back on track again! as soon as I found out Ferryhill's new home was in same complex as Mainsforth CC, I made sure I'd get there during the cricket season for my visit :)
After ticking off the sainsburys, I walked down the hill to the sports complex. This was the 3rd venue I'd watched ferryhill play a home game at, only this had the added bonus of a cricket tick & to recomplete the Crook & District League again :)

after a nice hour in the sun watching cricket (and also at HT) it was time for the footy, even tho if you stood near the halfway line of the pitch & turned round, you had a nice view of the wicket to watch the cricket!
Ferryhill hit the post & bar before Shildon scored, who then ended up 3 up at HT, Ferryhill deserved more but luck wasn't on their side against a strong Shildon side. I got the bus back to Bishop outside the ground, grabbed a few winner ciders at morrisons for the train back to thornaby, which was a winner 142, which was nice :)

Ferryhill Town 5 v Brandon United Reserves 1 - 30/08/14 - Ground #344 - Dean Bank Recreation Park

My 2nd trip to Ferryhill this season took me to their old Northern League ground (the trip before was a pre-season friendly v Sunderland West End at King George v Rec Ground) . The pitch has been rotated since. where the goal is on the above pic, there was a stand goin down the touchline, there were also turnstiles in the right hand corner of the ground.

#SoFarThisSeason 9 new grounds. 45 goals :)
