North Sunderland 1-3 Cullercoats Reserves
Neville Cowey Cup - Group 1
Wednesday 28th April 2021

North Sunderland is a fishing village on the Northumberland coast, adjacent to Seahouses.

(population: almost 2,000) The village grew significantly when the nearby coast was developed

as a harbour. Community growth became focused around the sea-houses, built in connection

with herring fishing, eventually giving its larger neighbouring village its name. 

North Sunderland FC previously played in the Northern Alliance in the 1999-2000 season and finally returned in 2019. In between the club played in the North Northumberland League, winning the Division One title in 2017-18.

A hat-trick from Andrew Tallen sent Cully Reserves into the semi-finals of the Neville Cowey Cup.

North Sunderland took the lead in the 13th minute when a threaded through ball found Chris

Gardner, who fired home with just the 'keeper to beat. Cullercoats equalised midway through the

half with a shot from the edge of the box by Tallen, then he fired them ahead just before the half

time whistle. The visitors clinched it on the hour with another fine strike from the striker to put

them in the final four, where they'll face Red House Farm away this Saturday.

#Heedhopper A fine day on the Northumberland coast with one of my southern based Groundhopping buddies,

pursuing our two favourite hobbies - football and beer. We headed up the coast at around 1.20pm

with our first pub call being the Three Horseshoes in Rennington. Unfortunately the day didn’t get

off to a good start as the pub was shut, even though it was advertised as being open from 11-3 and

6-11(we also had another unsuccessful crack at it afterwards) However, we found success at the

Joiners Arms(High Newton-by-the-Sea) The Ship Inn (Low Newton-by-the-Sea) and finally The

Olde Ship in Seahouses, followed by a chippy tea in the village before the match. A cracking day oot!


Away The Lasses


Gateshead FC formed a Women's team for the first time last summer. The lasses currently sit top of the Durham FA Women's Development League with a 100% win record from their opening nine matches. I've enjoyed watching Gateshead FC Ladies this season, they've represented the club with great pride and play the game with a smile, so they're obviously enjoying the experience. I'll be following their progress with a keen interest and look forward to seeing them amongst the honours come the season end.

Footnote:

(In case you didn't know) for every match I attend I put £1 in a moneybox and 50p for every goal I see, which pays for the Xmas big shop, so watching the Heed lasses is costing me a fortune

Ushaw Moor DoUble


Durham United currently play at two different grounds in Ushaw Moor. They play midweek games at the cricket club and Saturday fixtures (when the cricket is on) just up the road at the Sir Bobby Robson Centre.

Ushaw Moor is an old pit village in County Durham, on the north side of the River Deerness. It is situated 2 miles west of Durham and a short distance from Bearpark. It’s believed that the name 'Ushaw' is of Scandinavian origin, which means 'wolves' wood', so it translates as 'the moor near the wood of wolves'.
Durham United was established in 2012, stepping into senior football in the Durham & Wearside Development Division, which became the Wearside League Division 2 in 2019.

Durham United 2-0 Wynyard Village

Wearside League Division 2

Wednesday 21st April 2021


Ushaw Moor Cricket Club was established in 1881 and has 2 senior teams and 4 junior teams, with the football ground at the bottom end of the cricket pitch. 

Durham United won this midweek fixture against Wynyard with a goal in each half. After a promising start from the home side they eventually took the lead when a swift three onto one breakaway was finished off by Joe Dufton. The youthful Durham side looked impressive throughout, with a very well organised back line. United doubled their lead midway through the second half when a neat passing move was fired in by Dufton for his second.

754. The Sir Bobby Robson Centre

Durham United v Cockerton Club

Wearside League Division 2

Saturday 24th April 2021

The Sir Bobby Robson Sports Centre at the Durham Federation opened in 2006, just a few miles from

where the legendary football manager grew up in Langley Park.The centre has developed into a thriving

community sports hub, providing modern training facilities and a 3G pitch, which was resurfaced in

2019. The football ground has two entrances, one onto the pitch and another onto the spectator area,

which has seven bench seats elevated onto grass banking. 

I kept up my 100% win record watching Durham United as they hit Cockerton Club for seven.

Durham were two up at the break with Jamie Gibson giving them an early lead, before Curtis Curl

benefiting for a rebound on 27 minutes after the 'keeper saved Medland's effort. Kenny Shevels fired in

at the far post from a corner, then on the hour, Cockerton pulled one back with Lewis Henry

chipping the ‘keeper with a nice finish.

The hosts responded with a great finish from Benji Jackson, Noah Ellis stayed on side before slotting

home, then a delicious 20 yard free kick from Shelves made it six. There was still time for Dan Pringle to

latch onto a long ball, cut inside and fire home. The final piece of action saw Henry grab his second for

the visitor with another good strike to make it 7-2 on the full time whistle.
