whitley bay 1 – 1 newcastle benfield
As the kittens refused to travel to Stoke-on-Trent (they had a point), Christmas along with my parents was relocated up to Whitley Bay this year. The Boxing Day tradition of going to see Stoke fail to win had to be adapted accordingly, hence the trip to see Whitley Bay play Newcastle Benfield in the Northern League. We swelled the ranks of the crowd of 500 and, needless to say, we were lucky charms to the home team as usual…ahem.
What’s not to like about a programme entitled Bay Watch? Or the number 6, who showed that he could be pretty handy in Newcastle on a Saturday night? Or the number 10, who didn’t move much, but when he got the ball, had a touch like a dream? Howay the Bay!
On an unrelated subject, the final three images to complete my Venetian alphabet. This was a photographic challenge I set myself on a day walking around Venice in March. They aren’t the greatest photographs, but are the record of a day spent looking at a city more closely and from a different perspective…
