The Toon won their second game in less than 24 hours when a
'resorve-junior' side beat Berwick Strangers   2-1 at a rain sodden Shielfield Park this afternoon.

After a few 'liquid refreshments' in 'The Brown Bear' and 'The Harrow' (amongst otha boozers!) we made for the groond as the rain lashed doon relenltlessleee!

Yven Moyo opened wor accoont in the 39th minute with a reet foot shot past the despairin' home keeper.
Brandon Mielie then doubled wor lead 29 mins from time with a deflected shot which wrang footed the Berwick keeper.

The home side replied 5 mins later from the penalty spot but that was the end of the scorin' and wor 'second string/juniors' ran oot 2-1 winners in wot was a truly aaful game to watch! "ZZZZzzzz!!!!"

Thankfully there was ne pitch invasion this time!

Anly 493 very wet fans bothered to torn up, of which approximately half where from Tyneside.
