In the
last four years my final game of the football season has involved three trips
to Wembley for the FA Vase or Trophy final (and the other was watching Brazil
playing in the Olympics), but last night I signed off this year by heading in
the opposite direction and to the opposite end of the stadia spectrum, in the
shape of the Doctor Pitt Welfare Park, Bedlington, where in the last game of the
Northern League, Shildon needed to beat Bedlington Terriers to become Champions;
the game was fast and furious as Shildon pressed hard, only to lose a breakaway
goal, which they pulled back with twenty minutes to go but were then unable to
force home the winner, handing the title to Marske United in the final twist of
a very good and competitive season.
