Wednesday night we welcome the high flying Boro Rangers to the Daren Persson Stadium. The Phoenix park outfit have made an impeccable start to their league campaign, winning all 5 games so far this season, seeing them occupy second place behind Redcar Athletic on goal difference.
At the weekend, they were in FA Cup action, where they exited the competition to Tadcaster Albion in a 1-0 defeat.
The Robins were in action on Friday night, where they took on local neighbours West Allotment Celtic for the second time in seven days. A share of the spoils being the results as the teams played out a 1-1 draw, Mackenzie Sharpe on target for Allotment just after the break, Jamie Holesm bringing the Robins level with around 15 minutes left on the clock.
When the two sides met at the Daren Persson Stadium last season, the Robins ran out 1-0 winners with Lee Mason bagging the all important goal.
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.
