Wow - that's a surprise, given the state the Cumbrian's have been in for the last year or so. ???

They have new owners, who are supposedly very ambitious.

Good win for the Stan tonight in absolutely minging conditions. 4-2 win against Aycliffe. Absolutely battered for the first 30 mins and then took control. Hilarious missed pen for the visitors too, a good 3 or 4 metres over the bar.

Not sure if some have lost players / investment, or if other clubs are just getting better, but Dunston aside, you couldn't say any of the other north east times are cracking eggs with sticks in the NPL east this year. 5 of the 6 are in the bottom 8, and while early days, with 4 going down this year, probably a real chance 2 or 3 of them actually drop.

 

Bishops lost 0-4 at home, Newton Aycliffe lost 4-0 away, Ashington and Heaton also lost.

We've seen Hebburn, Stockton, Marske (I know...), and Morpeth promoted from that league in recent years, Dunston competing well at the top end most years, Shildon making the playoffs in their first season, and Newton Aycliffe finished 7th last season in their first season at the level, so a lot of local clubs have found the step up manageable in recent years (at least on the pitch), but none of the 5 are finding it straightforward this year so far.

Class win away at Southend for the Heed today. Win their game in hand and they're a point off top spot, fingers crossed that Dagenham result was just a one off freak drubbing.

It's hard to comprehend that they got stuffed 7-0 just a few weeks ago

How do you work that out?


Both writhe around in grass, lay eggs and eat birds?
