Sunderland RCA v North Shields (AMC) 09/03/2010 23:57

The Ernest Armstrong Memorial Trophy is at its quarter final stage and Shields must overcome league leaders Sunderland RCA on Wearside (10th March, 7.30pm kick off).
Sunderland have experienced a slight dip in form recently but continue to lead the pack in the league, with recent narrow wins and draws. The last round of the competition resulted in a 3-2 win at Hebburn Town.
The Robins have Cartwright, Graham, McElwee and Rasmussen all injured as they limped out of the weekends game at Seaham Red Star. Robbie Livermore is also added to the disabled list leaving manager Anthony Woodhouse with selection problems.
The game will be settled on the night after extra time and penalties if need be. A home game against Whitehaven awaits for the possibility of winning the clubs first silverware for 6 years.

Mark Rassmussen Player of the Month. 07/03/2010 21:49

Player\Manager Anthony Woodhouse has chosen Mark Rasmussen as his "Ian Farmer Associates" player of the month for February. This is some achievement given it's his first month back at the club and he topped off the award by scoring the opener away at Seham Red Star. However, he may want to forget his penalty miss last Tuesday against Drlington and the fact he hobbled out of the weekends game...!

Marske United game. 07/03/2010 21:33

Seaham Red Star 0 North Shields 2. 06/03/2010 18:18

The Red Ultra’s were in fine fettle as another 3 points were gained on a late winter’s afternoon in County Durham produced a 2-0 away win.
The Robins seem to be trouble free on their travels as Red Star rarely troubled Michael Robinson’s goal. Early chances to Femi, chipping over the keeper and seeing the ball rebound of the crossbar, and John Amos who failed to beat the keeper one on one despite all the time in the world failed to break the deadlock. Mark Rasmussen put the Shields boys in the lead cutting in from the left and curling it past the keeper well.
The second half continued in the same vain as Shields were the dominant side and after Andy Hay was brought on in the second half as a substitute he was there to slide home the second after good work by the lively Femi Akinbolu once more.
A good result but The Robins finished with ten men as Martin Graham, Rassmussen, Cartwright and Aaron McElwee all hobbled off crocked as Shields played 20 minutes with 10 men. Results were good this weekend as other teams dropped pints allowing hope for a top 3 place still.

Seaham Red Star v North Shields NL2. 04/03/2010 19:34

A trip to the port town of Seaham and a victory will banish the blues for the Reds as Woody looks for a response from his players following with awful home defeat to Darlington Railway Athletic.
Seaham Red Star were at the end of a 6-0 hammering as The Robins ran riot back in October. Goals by Smith, Livermore, Luccock, Amos, Minto and the sorely missed Anthony Lowther sent the Red Ultra’s back to the watering holes of North Tyneside Happy. Red Star are an inconsistent team and their supporters will struggle to see which team turns up on Saturday. The team named after a pub will be looking for the revenge scalp of Shields but with nothing to play for this may not be enough.
Mark Minto is a doubt for the game having played most of the midweek fixture and Andy Bowman and midweek substitute James Luccock are unavailable. Other than that it’s a clean bill of health.
Playing for pride Saturday will come quickly and the management, officials and supporters of North Shields will be looking for a positive reaction from the squad.
