With the dust hardly settled from Wednesday nights game with Heaton Stannington, we go again as as we welcome Newcastle Benfield to the Daren Persson Stadium for a Friday night under the lights!
Looking to build on from Wednesday night’s game, another difficult test for the lads sits in our path as the Lions provide the opposition. They come into the game currently sitting in 13th place. Last time out, they made the short journey to neighboring West Allotment Celtic, coming away from the game empty handed after a 1-5 defeat.
A massive shoutout to all 537 who were in attendance on Wednesday night and braved the cold weather to cheer on the lads. your support is massively appreciated and we hope that you can join us once again tonight.
For those who are not able to make the game, updates will be available on our social media channels @northshieldsfc
