Marc Nash and the lads welcome Brighouse Town to the Daren Persson Stadium on Saturday for our 8th league game of the campaign.
Last time out in the league the Robins saw off Grantham at home 2-0, with goals from Regan Paterson and Brad Hird sitting the Robins in 10th spot.
In midweek, Shields hosted local friends Percy Main of the Northern Alliance Premier running out 4-1 winners.
Brighouse come into the game undefeated in their last four games, making the long trip north after beating Shildon at home 3-0 last week, their recent run of form sees them sitting in 5th spot.
If recent results are anything to go by expect goals in this game as in the last 3 league games there has been a combined 19 goals scored between the two sides.
