A dominant first 60 mins saw Bishops go into a 3 goal lead - Henderson, Howard and Patton with the goals.
Boro hit back in the final 25 minutes with a couple of goals.
A very healthy crowd of 471 on a sunny evening. Must say the Vest Construction Stadium, Heritage Park is looking splendid, with the playing surface as good as you could ever hope for.

A very impressive performance from the 'Bishops' and could easily have been 4 or 5 up at half time. A few changes from both sides at half time and probably Boro edged the 2nd half.
On that performance despite not their strongest team they must be very strong favourites for the league title. The pitch was Premiership quality, I know there was a lot of money spent on it but it looked like a bowling green.

Looks very encouraging for Bishops, I wonder who their closest rivals could be, maybe Whitley Bay ?

Looks very encouraging for Bishops, I wonder who their closest rivals could be, maybe Whitley Bay ? It could be, but I still think Heaton Stannington are the clear favourites. They've added some excellent players to an already strong squad. It's probably going to be a three way fight between them, Bishops and Whitley Bay I think. In the second division, Blue Star will have the league wrapped up by Christmas and Blyth will also go up imho. |

I certainly won't be reading too much into friendlies so far. No doubt about it, Bishop's are looking strong, but the results don't amount to anything much yet. Obviously, I'd rather be heading into the season on the back of these good performances as not, but when the points are at stake it will be a very different thing altogether. C'mon blues!
