Spennymoor Town 2-5 Linlithgow Rose

Friendly Match
The Brewery Field
Spennymoor
Co. Durham.

The Rose are playing the first of two pre-season friendly matches in the area this weekend, the second being at Chester le Street Town tomorrow. Linlithgow play in the Scottish Junior League(East Region).
The visitors were a goal down at half-time and it was 2-0 early in the second half. With about 30 minutes left, some astute substitutions brought some very good football from Linlithgow whose pressure resulted in confusion in the Moors' defence and 5 goals, 3 of which were very well-worked.

Willington 0-3 Bishop Auckland

Pre-Season Friendly
Hall Lane,
Willington
Co. Durham.

Less than 2 months since the last match I saw and 2009-10 is almost upon us! Northern League Division 1 side Bishop Auckland make the fairly short trip up the valley to take on Wearside League outfit Willington. It seems a long time since I was last at Willington, I think it's about 4 years since they were relegated from Northern League Divison 2.
