Tomorrow we welcome Crook Town to the Daren Persson Stadium in another big game.
Brian Smith and his management team will be looking for another performance to level of last Friday night against Newcastle Benfield, a game which a performance of the calibre deserved much more but it wasn’t to be, on another night the result could have been somewhat different
After the scheduled postponed game midweek the lads will be fully rested after the two games in 72 hours. Our visitors will also be fully rested after having played last Saturday, when they entertained Sunderland RCA at their Sir Tom Cowie Millfield home. Running out 2-1 winners courtesy of a brace from Zackary Bewley, with D’Armando Lawrence reducing the deficit for the visitors.
In the reverse fixture, back in August, the two teams played out a 1-1 draw, Regan Paterson with the Robins goal on the stroke of half time, after Zackary Bewley scored from the penalty spot halfway through the first half.
This is the ideal opportunity to come along and support the lads and get your weekend football fix, invite your friends and let’s pack out the Daren Persson Stadium once again, clubhouse open at 1 and kick off at 3 come along and make a day of it.
For those who are not able to make the game, updates will be available on our social media channels @northshieldsfc
