T.A.T. (Technical Area Talk) In our second derby game of the week we entertain Willington who are quite a strong organised team and very dangerous on the counter attack, we will have to be at our best today as if last season is anything to go by it will be a tight game. This is a game where local rivalry comes into play and the supporters from both sides will be quite vocal. Team wise we are still without 5 key players through injury, which we have had to contend with for most of the season. It has allowed some of our younger players to develop which is a positive and will stand them in good stead for the season. We are now going into the winter months so heavy pitches are on their way so we are looking forward to getting our squad back to full strength. The team is now starting to develop and grow in confidence on the back of a few extremely good performances. We now need to maintain this level which requires hard work of all the squad and desire to progress.

Tow Law Town AFC “The Lawyers”

Lawyers Club History The “Lawyers” were founded in 1890 and became founder members of the Auckland and District League in 1892. The following year they won the Durham Amateur Cup. They first joined the Northern League in 1894, winning the Durham Challenge Cup two years later. After leaving the Northern League the Lawyers played in the South Durham Alliance (1900 to 1905) and Crook and District League (1912 to 1914). After the war the club played in the Auckland and District League until being readmitted to the Northern League in 1920 where it has played ever since. Until 1994/95 season the club had not won the championship apart from two successive seasons 1923/24 and 1924/25. In between the League Cup was won in 1973/74 when Ashington were beaten 2-1 in the final at Crook. The 1994/95 League Championship win is a certainly an outstanding memory for the club especially as it was won by 14 clear points. Another outstanding memory was the tremendous F.A. Cup run of 1967/68. Having reached the first round Tow Law beat Mansfield 5-1 and in the second round drew 1-1 with Shrewsbury at Ironworks Road. The Lawyers went into the hat for the Third Round and drew a home tie with Arsenal. Sadly, it was not to be after they went down 6-2 at Shrewsbury in the replay. Frank McGee reported after the replay “Arsenal were saved from a fate worse than death - a trip to Tow Law in January”.

the ground is down to the regular work which has been done since 1921 by many hardworking bands of voluntary labour. A major scare occurred early in the 2004/05 season, the playing surface was struck by subsidence, rendering it unplayable. The Club was forced to ground share at Esh Winning for the remainder of the season, whist repairs were carried out by the Coal Board. Continuity at the club was provided by the longest serving trio of officials in the League, Chairman Harry Hodgson, Treasurer Harry Dixon and Club Secretary Bernard Fairbairn who followed his father and grandfather into the job.) They had over 100 years’ service between them. Harry Hodgson stood down as Chairman at the end of the 95/96 season. At the end of 1997 Harry Dixon also stood down but stayed on as the Club President until his death in 2002. Harry Hodgson took over as President. Bernard Faribairn stepped down as Secretary in 2007 after being in the post since 1961 – over 40 years. “A prisoner would get less for murder.

Peter Quigley and Tony Heslop took the Club on its first visit to Wembley was made on 9th May 1998 after a tremendous F.A. Vase run. It was a splendid adventure which sadly ended with a 1-0 defeat by Tiverton.

During 2004, Harry Hodgson again showed his devotion to the Club, returning as Chairman for 1 last year. Following the 2004/05 season he was replaced by Sandra Gordon, the first female Chair at the Club and only the third in the long history of the League.

The Lawyers first ground was in Church Lane, but the present Ironworks Road ground was built by volunteers during the miners’ strike of 1892/93. Ironically it was rebuilt during another miners strike in 1921. Today the much-improved state of

Famous ex-players include Billy Hall who played for Blackpool and Manchester City, Chris Waddle who transferred to Newcastle in 1980 & Steve Howard of Leicester City.

Tow Law Town AFC “The Lawyers”

Tow Law Town 4-3 Crook Town Tuesday 6th October 2020 They say a local derby match in football is a thing of the past. Well I’m sorry but 150 people at the Ironworks on Tuesday will disagree. This game had everything 7 goals, 2 red cards, man in the sin bin and world-class saves. Not to mention passion, commitment and respect from both teams. The game started at 100 mph and it was the Lawyers who got off to a tremendous start when Michael Brown was brought down in the box and the referee had no hesitation but to give a penalty. Barrie Smith stepped up and converted to make it 1-0 after only 1 min. The lawyers were really up for this game and were all over Crook like a rash. They went 2-0 after 12 minutes when a great cross from the left was met by a bullet header from Tom McAloon giving the keeper no chance. It was wave after wave of attacks from the Lawyers and on 23 minutes more great work from the busy McAloon down the right hand side put a great cross in for Michael Brown to slide in and make it 3-0. Unfortunately the Lawyers had no time to celebrate that goal, as Crook went straight up the other end and pulled a goal back. The remainder of the first half was end to end with the Lawyers shading it on chances. Teams went in at half time for a well-deserved rest and the Lawyers leading 3-1. There was always going to be a reaction from Crook second half, (they are not top the league for nothing) and they came out flying. The Lawyers had to be strong, tackles were flying in from both teams and the ref was struggling to control the game. The Lawyers paid the price for this on 58 mins when central midfielder Jeff Smith was sent off for a rash challenge. In my book a yellow card was sufficient, but unfortunately with the atmosphere and the away fans baying for blood the ref showed a straight red. Down to 10 men the Lawyers hat to dig deep and defend for their lives. With Crook now on the front foot pushing forward, there was always going to be the chance of a break away. The Lawyers got that chance on 60 minutes when they broke the full length of the field and a clumsy challenge rewarded them there 2nd penalty of the night. Baz Smith made no mistake and put the Lawyers 4-1 up. Crook continued to pepper the Lawyers goal with everything they had. The bad news for Crook was we have one of the best Keepers in the league in Lew Graham. For the next 20 mins he showed why, pulling some stunning saves off to keep the 18

Tow Law Town AFC “The Lawyers”

score 4-1. One save in particular low down to his right was out of this world (take a bow Lew Graham). The Lawyers continued to play on the break and caught Crook out again with some slick play. On 70 mins this resulted in the last defender pulling Mason Hurworth down, ref went red and it was 10 v 10. Crook player’s argued the referee’s decision and had a player sin binned for it 10 v 9 wow! What next? Into the last 8 mins the Lawyers were beginning to tire, no surprise considering what they put into the game. Crook pressure paid off in the end and scored on 82 & 90 minutes to make the final score 4-3 to the Lawyers. So the first bragging rights go to Tow Law, but boy did they have to work for it. Man of the Match for me tonight - impossible to single any one player out, as every player in a white shirt put a shift in. Well done Guys!
