There’s a common saying that every cloud has a silver lining, and at North East Sport, we’ve taken that to heart. This week, the relentless rain meant we had to cancel all games at Monkwearmouth due to waterlogged pitches. Disappointing? Absolutely. But we believe in turning setbacks into opportunities for kindness.
Instead of dwelling on the dampened spirits, we fired up the grill and put all our provisions to good use. Thanks to Marj’s culinary prowess, we transformed what would have been a feast at the football grounds into a feast for the community. All the bacon sandwiches, initially prepped for game day, were donated to the Swan Lodge in Sunderland, offering a little warmth and comfort to those who need it most.
It’s gestures like these that define us. Beyond the football, the training, and the matches, it’s the sense of community that truly embodies the spirit of our club. We are more than a game; we are a family that looks out for each other and for those around us.
So, while the lads might have missed out on their matches, they certainly haven’t missed out on making an impact. A big shout out to them for being such good sports, and another massive thanks to Marj for turning a rainy day into one filled with a bit of sunshine.
It’s who we are, it’s what we do. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

We hope everyone at Swan Lodge enjoys the sandwiches – let’s spread the warmth this season! ⚽️🥪💙
