This Saturday 18th July Newton Aycliffe’s first pre-season home game is versus Northallerton for the Frank Swinburne Memorial Cup. Frank, who passed away in 2013, was an enthusiastic and hard-working member of the Newton Aycliffe committee.
Among his many achievements was a sponsored walk to Northallerton and for that reason the North Yorkshire team play Aycliffe in this annual pre-season fixture.
Northallerton are managed by popular former Aycliffe player Danny Mellanby who’ll be making a welcome return to Moore Lane Park and will have several ex-Aycliffe players in his squad.
Kick-off is 3:00pm. Admission will be £4 adults, £2 concessions. Free admission for Season ticket holders and accompanied under 12’s.
