🔴 North Shields Form
The Robins head into the weekend on the back of an impressive 4-0 win away at Crook Town, a result that lifted them to 5th in the Division One table. That emphatic victory followed last weeks success over West Allotment Celtic (2-0), alongside setbacks against Horden CW (2-1) and Marske United (3-0).
With goals flowing again and confidence restored, Shields will look to build on that midweek momentum in front of their home supporters.
⚫⚪ Northallerton Town Form
Northallerton Town have endured a challenging start to the season, currently sitting 16th. Recent results include:
- Kendal Town 3-1 Northallerton (FA Cup replay)
- Northallerton 1-1 Kendal Town (FA Cup)
- Boro Rangers 1-0 Northallerton (League)
- Northallerton 1-2 Easington Colliery (League)
Despite a tough run of games, they remain a dangerous opponent capable of upsetting higher-placed sides.
📜 Previous Encounters
The two clubs have shared mixed results in recent seasons:
- 29 Mar 2025 – North Shields 2-0 Northallerton (McCamley 10’, Dale 42’ OG)
- 27 Aug 2024 – Northallerton 2-0 North Shields (Banks 18’, Banks 71’)
- 2 Sep 2023 – North Shields 8-0 Northallerton (Turner 15’, 26’; Potter 49’; Paterson 58’, 61’, 78’; Joisce 66’, 83’)
That 8-0 rout in 2023 still stands as one of Shields’ most memorable results in recent years, though last season’s fixtures proved far tighter.
