Trying to put today into words.
The Sunday papers will show a 2-1 win. What they won't be able to show was the reaction of the players, management & supporters at full time.
The squad of 12 today put in a shift that deserved 3 points. Each and every one of them were brilliant.
FULL TIME
Alnwick Town 5
Burradon & New Fordley 2
Roper, Molloy, Hedley, Shepherd and Fairbairn bring silverware back to Alnwick for the 1st time in 13 years.

It's not just the 90 minutes on a Saturday afternoon.
It's first thing on a Monday morning repairing the pitch.
It's litter picking around the ground.
And the many, many other jobs that go unseen.
Big thanks to our volunteers, and all others across non league.
New Signing - Kev Leighton
Kev came straight in for todays game and shown the leadership and experience we knew he would bring.
Clean sheet on debut and a vital addition with 5 changes today from Wednesdays game. Welcome Kev

Long serving left back Jake remains committed to the club this season and is looking to return to the starting 11 asap after injury & isolation. A great lad off the pitch and popular with the 472 ⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪
Thankyou - Ian Hogg
100% dedicated groundsman, Ian is working on our pitch 5 days a week to make sure we have a fantastic pitch to play on. Attention to detail second to none, thankyou from everyone involved with the first team.
To say that this man is a font of football knowledge is a complete understatement.
As a football club we are so lucky to have Cyril and his wife Cyndy involved with the club.
Well done Cyril. Thoroughly deserved. 👏👏👏

@AlnwickTownAFC
Just remembered, as we didn't lose at home we have a man of the match.
The
@Hotspur_1364
man of the match, chosen by me, goes to Joe Pickard.
Moved to centre half for the night, probably the youngest lad on the pitch and had a great game.
Well done Joe 👏
Date for the diary...

Just a thought
Although we will finish in a relegation place at this moment in time we still don't know how many teams will be relegated.
Different rumours every ground we've been to ranging from 5 teams to none!
What will be will be. Thanks for all the messages of support❤️
