Hundreds of pounds was raised for the town’s football club by dedicated fans and volunteers at the weekend.
It’s estimated that the Frank Swiburne Memorial Day raised more than £2,000, although the official figure is yet to be confirmed as sponsorship is still being collected.
Some fans walked the 26-mile route from Northallerton to Aycliffe on Saturday – replicating in reverse Frankie’s Aycliffe-to-Northallerton walk back in 2009 – while others cycled the route, including the club’s chairman Gary Farley.
Aycliffe then ran out 6-2 winners in the inaugural Frank Swinburne Memorial Cup – with a post-match presentation by the Swinburne family followed by a BBQ.
