FT RACA 1 TOW LAW TOWN 2

An Albion side lacking the spark shown in latter pre season friendlies lost the opening fixture of the 26/27 as they failed to manage the breezy conditions against Tow Law. A goal in each half from Harvey Walsh sent the visitors back down the A68 with a deserved win in a game that won’t linger long in the memory, at least not for Ryton fans. Louis Calvert converted a late penalty to halve the deficit but a spot kick was frankly the only way RACA looked like they’d score as the team had one of those collective off days.
