I think that was part of the problem....... they wanted a young man.

Tow Law (County Durham)

The word law in local place names derives from the Anglo-Saxon Hlaw which means rounded hill and was often applied to a hill with an ancient barrow or tumulus on its summit. In the midlands and further south the word low is often used in the same way and is especially common among the rounded hills of Derbyshire. Law is commonest in Northumberland and Durham but rare in Yorkshire, where the Viking word Howe predominates in place names like Ainderby Quernhow and Carlin Howe. North East Laws include Charlaw hill near Sacriston in County Durham, where there is a good view of the Cleveland Hills, the Cheviots, Newcastle City centre and Durham Cathedral. Another hill with a good viewpoint is Warden Law near Houghton le Spring. This name means Watch-Hill and is said to be the place where the carriers of St Cuthbert's coffin were guided to Durham after the saint appeared to them in a vision in the Year 995.

Hence the club's nickname - the Lawyers - seems misapplied. Maybe Hillbillies would be more appropriate

Are you folks in Britain even familiar with that term?
