Tomorrow we welcome league leaders Bishop Auckland to the Daren Persson Stadium.
Looking to build on from Tuesday night’s dominant display in the win against Tow Law, another tough test is in store for Brian Smith’s side.
The visitor’s sit at the top of the table, having compiled 76 points so far this season, scoring 104 goals in the process. Last time in action, they ran out 7-0 winners against Sunderland RCA.
As mentioned above, the Robins were in action in midweek, running out 2-0 winners with Cai Pritchard netting in the first half and a second half Matty Telfer penalty cementing the win.
The two sides met just last month at Heritage Park, where the hosts won 4-0, the Robins had chances of their own but were not able to convert.
We hope that you can join us to cheer on the lads. If you are not able to join us, updates will be available via social media @northshieldsfc
