Cup Final

I was invited south of the Tyne this morning as my nephew had a football cup final and brother wanted some pictures of the occasion. London may have had a fabulous Olympics but they couldn't have picked a better day, glorious sunshine at the Monkton Stadium, Jarrow, apparently home to the former announcement system of British Rail.

Down there with a camera I came over a bit 'Lethbridge' ( albeit with a third of the talent) and started papping a few of the crowd too, so excuse the complete lack of birds in this post it won't happen too often, just enjoy some snaps from a pleasant morning, nephew's team won, 4-1 I think, so the result went the right way, for us at least. Kids and families enjoyed it though I was a little disappointed to learn that we arrived after the two dad scuffle that apparently occurred during one of the earlier matches, missed photo opportunity there.
