Introduction


Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

World Cup Winners


This week’s football match is at West Auckland, by no means my first visit but the first since the unveiling of the statue commemorating the team’s historic winning of the inaugural World Cup, in the guise of the Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy, in Italy in 1909 and repeated in 1911, the successive victory giving them the trophy outright; these days the current West Auckland Town team aim a little lower but today’s hard fought win over Shildon gets them one step further in the FA Vase.
