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.

FA Trophy

The Trophy is the FA’s knock out tournament for the top end of the non-league pyramid and today’s first qualifying round pitted Darlington against Mossley, two teams that represent my current and (35 years) previous home towns; I have followed both teams to Wembley finals in this competition, Mossley in 1980 and Darlo in 2011, and today’s game, played in good spirit and (for once at Heritage Park) perfect conditions, mirrored the Wembley results – Darlington won and Mossley lost.
