Ryton & Crawcrook Albion eased to a 10-1 win over Stobswood Welfare in their latest pre-season friendly on Friday night.

Despite the torrential rain, Albion produced a strong performance against the newly-promoted Northern Alliance Premier Division side scoring 5 goals in each half.

Albion’s goals came from Richard Hoggins (3), Rhys McLeod (3), Ryan Smith (2), Lee Waugh and Kristian Sands.

Disappointingly, the hosts did get a late consolation goal to deny Albion a clean sheet.

Nathan Beckham and Andrew Waugh’s side were due to travel to Seaton Delaval next – in their penultimate friendly on Wednesday – but the opposition have had to sadly pull out. News of a possible replacement fixture will be announced in due course.

The final pre-season fixture will see RACA make the trip to Carlisle a week on Saturday, 22nd July.
