Ryton & Crawcrook Albion were beaten 2-0 by Sunderland RCA in a friendly on Wednesday evening.

A brace from Andrew Johnson – early in each half – secured the win for the First Division hosts and condemned a much-changed Albion to their first defeat in pre-season.

Daniel Iredale’s side, who have drawn at Alnwick Town and won at Edinburgh United, continue preparations for the new league season at Northern Alliance Premier Division outfit Burradon & New Fordley on Saturday.

Goals from all the matches will be available to watch on RACA TV on YouTube in the coming days with match photos available on the official RACA Facebook page.
