A magnificent turn-out at Morpeth Town for their 'Open Day.'

Morpeth Town held a highly successful ‘Open Day’ last weekend when hundreds converged on Craik Park for a series of mini-matches.

The event was organised by the club’s junior section with youngsters taking part in a series of games, watched over by their parents and coaches.

A club spokesman said: “It was a tremendous day and the organisers are to be congratulated for putting the event together.

“The youngsters participated in a number of matches and all the parents seemed to enjoy themselves as well.

“The weather also played ball which was a help and it was lots of fun. It really showed the community aspect of our club at its best.”

Morpeth Town also paraded on a bus as part of Morpeth Fair on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Morpeth Town are continuing to assemble their squad for the 2022-23 season in the Northern Premier League.

After announcing the signings of strike pair Connor Thomson, from Blyth Spartans, and Dale Pearson, who is returning to the club for a second spell after a stint with Consett,it was revealed that last season’s leading goal scorer, Andrew Johnson, who netted 24, will be returning.
