Tomorrow night we welcome Ashington to the Daren Persson Stadium in the first round of this year’s Northumberland Senior Cup.
Our visitors tomorrow night reached the semi-final stage last season before bowing out of the competition to eventual winners Newcastle United Under 23’s, seeing off Newcastle University and West Allotment Celtic in the prior rounds.
The Robins exited the competition at the first round stage last season, defeated at home by West Allotment Celtic.
We hope that you can join us for the game and cheer on the lads, if not you can follow us on our social media channels @northshieldsfc for updates.
