On Saturday we welcome Carlton Town to the Daren Persson Stadium as they make the 160 mile trip to the North East from Nottinghamshire.
They come into the game with just 1 win in their last 5 league outings, losing their last two games and currently sit in 14th place.
The Millers were in county cup action in midweek and advanced with a 5-0 win over Southwell City FC courtesy of goals from Aaron Opoku x3, Bradley Wells and Kyle Tomlin.
The Robins on the other hand come into the game unbeaten in their last 5 and and find themselves in 8th place, just two points off the top 4.
Shields played host to Dunston during midweek, sharing the points a battling 1-1 draw with visitors being reduced to 9 men late on in the second half.
Marc Nash will be looking to continue the unbeaten run and keep all points in NE29.
We hope to see you at the game to cheer on the lads!
