Tried to find the words to pay tribute to Curtis Coppen in my @NonLeaguePaper column after his heartbreaking passing last weekend. The most poignant and fitting words came from the man himself. He will be missed by all at @NorthShieldsFC and beyond.

Have to feel for @YorkCityFC and @officialcufc supporters having to go to Truro City and Wealdstone for later kick offs.

And now all out for 27! Just one run higher than the lowest innings total in test match history!.

Turns out England v India wasn’t even the most remarkable ending to a test match that’s happened today. Needing 204, the West Indies are now 26/9 off 14 overs in the final innings against Australia and Scott Boland’s just taken a hat-trick.

It seems ridiculously cruel that such a remarkable test match has been decided by a wicket like that. Fair play to England and India because that has been an outstanding match between two very good sides.

Safe to say that's a perfectly timed wicket for England!.

I repeat…. What a grab from Archer!.

Now’s it getting interesting. Cracking ball from Stokes.

Jofra Archer doing very Jofra Archer things. What a delivery that was! 🔥.

Have to say a massive thank you to the media team at @SouthShieldsFC for allowing William to be part of the press pack for yesterday’s game with Sunderland. A lovely little experience for him and one that I know both he and I appreciated so much.

This has been a quite wonderful test series and you get the feeling the best could be yet to come. This current test match really could go either way. Fair play to England and India because it is a fascinating watch.

"Without a doubt we can do those deals and bring players in if some of our lads head out". Clubs are showing interest in a number of Gateshead players - but Alun Armstrong has moved to remove any doubt they will be replaced if suitable offers are made.
