Will this miserable wet weather ever end? With the winter we’ve had, April showers would have been bad enough, but torrential rain put paid to any chance of football at Moore Lane this week. Newton Aycliffe FC were due to play two home games last week, but they and Saturday’s away match at Dunston all fell foul of the weather.
That leaves Aycliffe facing a mammoth 10 games in 22 days to bring the 2015/2016 campaign to a close. It will be a hectic 3 weeks for Peter Dixon’s side but whatever happens now they will be able to reflect on the most successful season in the club’s 50 year history. As well as winning Durham County’s most senior cup competition the team achieved it’s best result in the FA Cup & FA Vase.
Aycliffe now have trips to Guisborough, Morpeth and Penrith before facing league leaders Shildon at home on Thursday 28 April. Kick off at Moore Lane is 7:30pm.
The Sports Club Bar and Ground Bait Cabin will be open from 6:30pm. Admission £6 adults & £4 concessions with under 12s free if accompanied by an adult.
