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.

Pitch Perfect

Entering Shildon FC’s Dean Street ground for the first time this season I immediately noticed something different – the pitch was a strange green colour due to a lush covering of grass, when even at this time of year it is normally pale and patchy and just waiting to turn into mud and sand; the programme confirmed that much work had been done over the summer, presumably to support the team’s preferred passing style of play (and it worked today with a 2-0 win), but the question is how well it stand up to the rigours of  Northern League season?
