Tonight we welcome Crook Town to the Daren Persson Stadium for our penultimate home game of the season.
After a good win at the weekend away to Penrith, the Robins faced off against Birtley Town on Monday night, losing out 2-1 as the hosts booked their spot in the play-offs.
Only 5 points separate the two sides going into the contest, as 13th place takes on 15th place.
The Black and Amber’s have picked up 1 point in their last 5 games with a draw against Seaham Red Star.
When the two sides met earlier in the season, the two sides played out 1-1 draw with Regan Paterson drawing the Robins level, after Zackary Bewery opened the scoring from the penalty spot.
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
