Ryton & Crawcrook Albion recorded a 1-0 win over West Allotment Celtic in their latest pre-season friendly on Saturday.

Lewis Henry’s strike midway through the second half was enough for Nathan Beckham and Andrew Waugh’s side in a mostly even encounter on the 4G pitch at Coach Lane.

After two matches (and two victories) against Northern League First Division sides, Albion travel to Alliance sides AFC Newbiggin on Tuesday and Stobswood Welfare on Friday as the build-up towards the new season continues.
