Wednesday night see’s Birtley Town visit the Daren Persson Stadium for our second game of the 2024/25 campaign.
After an opening draw with Easington, the Robins reside in 12th place in the standings going into the contest, the Robins went into the break with a two goal advantage after goals from Will McCamley and Jamies Holmes.
The hosts battled hard and were awarded for their efforts, drawing level in stoppage time to start the opening day with a point, former Robin Brad Hard on target and Mark Davision with the equalizer.
Our visitors for this game were defeated on the opening day at the hands of Penrith, who ran out 3-0 winners. A brace from DJ Taylor and Luke Brown securing the win, Penrith were reduced to 10 men late after Luke Irving was sent off.
When the two sides met at the Daren Persson Stadium last stadium, the Robins ran out 3-1 winners with goals from Regan Patterson, David Palmer and Tom Potter, Alex Francis on target for the hoops.
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.
