NORVENMUNKI's COMMENTS:
Great game in the late summer sunshine. Both sides playing good footie on a great surface.
Two very early goals were the difference, but Dunston were the better-looking side as the game went on and deserved at least a goal if not a point.
Good atmosphere, plenty of light-hearted banter.
Nice venue, plenty for my boy to play on.
Excellent location too, slap-bang on the A1 Dunston junction. Plus a canny view toward the Toon.
GBA rating: OK (especially on a nice sunny warm day like today).
