Home from Hungary and
hungry for football after the close season I headed for Moore Lane Park to see
one of the opening fixtures in the Northern League, in which Newton Aycliffe
beat last year’s champions Marske United 2-1; the match was also chosen by Mike
Amos, the long term Chairman of the league, who to mark his retirement and
raise funds for charity has embarked on a ‘Last Legs Challenge’ to walk 12
miles or so to each of the 44 home grounds, and although I drove past him and
his small entourage (looking pretty jiggered) about a mile from the ground,
they still arrived before me as I still had to negotiate the tortuous new town
road layout of Newton Aycliffe.
