Tonight's match, Blackpool Mechanics v Burscough, was abandoned at 0-0 after 10 min because of fog! Conditions at 7.45 were borderline so the ref delayed the start. Just after 8 o'clock, things started to improve, far touchline became visible, and the game kicked off at 8.18. From then on it was all downhill and the ref had no option after 10 minutes but to call it off as following play became impossible. The fog, incidentally, was purely local.

There was also a lot of fog during Gateshead's match with Brandon Utd in the DCC, but fortunately it cleared up. Gateshead won the match 3-2 after extra time. Very good side Brandon - certainly no pushovers. We played poorly in the first half but seemed to wake up in the second. Bishop Auckland also won their match with Dunston 2-1. Anyone know how spennymoor did?
