A local charity benefitted from the generosity of football fans earlier this month. Great Aycliffe Cancer Support Group raised £134 with a bucket collection at Newton Aycliffe FC’s Moore Lane ground. The Newtonians were playing an EBAC Northern League Division One game against South Shields & won the game 2-1. However it was the bucket collectors who were the biggest winners thanks to both sets of supporters’ generosity. Newton Aycliffe F.C. is always delighted to help local charities & anyone wanting to hold a bucket collection at a home game can contact Rob Tarling on 07522 574797.
