EASINGTON COLLIERY 2 RACA 0

A quick-fire first-half brace from Easington’s Brad Hird proved the difference in the two sides as Ryton & Crawcrook Albion were defeated 2-0 by Easington Colliery in today’s pre-season friendly at the Wellfield 4G complex in Wingate. More valuable minutes in the tank as preparations continue for the new campaign with a trip to Northern Alliance Premier League side Ponteland United on Wednesday night next on the agenda.
