Alnwick Town share spoils in Newcastle University draw

Alnwick Town took an early lead but eventually had to settle for a sharing of the spoils as they played out a 1-1 draw against Newcastle University on Saturday afternoon.

Euan Potts fired the Magpies ahead inside seven minutes at St. James’ Park, but the visitors would drag themselves level just a quarter of an hour later when Daniel Kemp equalised from the penalty spot.

From there, despite their best efforts, Alnwick were unable to find a way of regaining the advantage, with the contest ultimately ending in a draw.

The result leaves Alnwick 15th in the Ebac Northern League Division Two table, having taken 22 points from their opening 19 matches. A point also extends Town’s unbeaten run in the league to two matches, having played out a 0-0 draw with Seaton Carew last time out.

Alnwick’s next league fixture comes at home against struggling Durham United on Saturday, November 14th.
