1901-1902

 

The last league table traced comes from the main Newcastle newspapers for April 26^th, 1902.  There were 11 matches still left to play at that stage and the results of these are unknown.  It would appear, however, that the positions at the top and bottom of the Northern Alliance were not affected.

Jarrow, Middlesbrough ‘A’, Newcastle United ‘A’, South Shields, Sunderland ‘A’ and Thornaby all left the competition.  Annfield Plain Celtic, Ashington, Consett Town Swifts, Dudley Wanderers, Mickley and Stanley all joined the Northern Alliance.

The Jarrow v. Shankhouse fixture was not completed.  The Consett and Dudley clubs were both re-elected and it appears that North Shields Athletic were admitted to the competition.  Unfortunately, the 1904-1905 table has yet to ‘come to light’, so it is impossible to be certain about very much for the campaign, except that Willington Athletic emerged as champions.
