Another fixture relocation meant another caged “all weather” ground tick. This time it was Wallington, moving their home Northern Alliance Challenge Cup tie with Rutherford from Oakwood Park to Gosforth Academy The ground is at the north end of Gosforth. The 4G pitch runs parallel with the Great North Road.
The fixture was due to take place at the end of November, so after a long wait it was Rutherford who progressed to the next round, with three first half goals booking their place in round four.
