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.

Blown Away

Tonight’s top of the table clash in the Evo-Stik First Division North featured Darlington 1883 at home to Curzon Ashton at Heritage Park, where the strong diagonal wind reduced the beautiful game to an ugly kick and rush affair with most of the action at the down-wind end with some laughable goalkeeper clearances boomeranging back whence they came; Darlo’s backs to the wall, faces to the wind, effort in the first half saw them concede just the one goal, which seemed a reasonable basis for optimism, however they failed to make the favourable second half conditions tell and made defensive howlers that enabled Curzon’s few breakaways to result in goals, three of them, to blow Darlo away 4-0.
