Ashington delivered a much improved performance yesterday against one of the favourites for promotion from the Northern League.
Driving down the coast from Blyth I was watching the black cloud come over, and just as I arrived at the ground the heavens opened and the thunder and lightning began, making me wonder if the game would go ahead.
It cleared up in time for kick off however, and an entertaining game ensued. Ashington took the lead and controlled the first half before another deluged arrived minutes before half time.
It was back to blazing sunshine for the second half as the Colliers added another before Whitley Bay were awarded a penalty which keeper Karl Dryden, who needlessly committed the foul, saved it to his left.
Ashington added another to go 3 up, before Whitley pulled two back.
All in all a good work out for both teams who will be happy with how they played generally.

Incidentally, anyone know what was happening outside the ground before kick off? There was a load of police and ambulances heading past the gates and down towards the mosque? Hope everyone is ok, that little road is a nightmare.
