Sixer’s Accrington Stanley Sevens: abandoned at 1-1

Jake: ‘that wasn’t in the script’

No, Pete Sixsmith is not reporting from either of the  towns of Stanley in County Durham. Nor is he reporting from the exceedingly wet town of Accrington as he has been assigned other duties for the duration (call Lapland for further information). But Salut! Sunderland‘s deputy editor Malcolm Dawson and associate editor John McCormick  made it to the Crown Ground or Wham Stadium, according to choice, and even met our much-missed one-word player ratings maestro Rob ‘I ran out of adjectives’ Hutchison and his daughter Olivia over pre-match drinks. They all saw Chris Maguire put the Lads ahead, only for Stanley to equalise and then for the ref to gaze at the skies, see yet another torrential downpour and abandon the game. All to be done again. Meanwhile, for thise following via Barnes and Benno, there was the consolation of news from Gateshead of the man of their match (2-0 up when Monsieur Salut switched off), Luke Molyneux, on loan from SAFC.
