Nickname: Star
Twitter: @nbsfc2018
Current League Position: 5th
Last Season’s Finish: 2nd Place – Division Two
Tomorrow we welcome Marc Nash’s Newcastle Blue Star to the Daren Persson Stadium for our final game of 2024.
Marc Nash’s side suffered a similar fate to the Robins on Boxing Day losing 1-0 away from home to Newcastle Benfield, the goal coming just after the break.
The Robins saw their winning streak come to end on Boxing Day, Blyth Town left the Daren Persson Stadium with the all important 3 points after a 2-0 win.
Both sides will be looking to correct things after defeats at the weekend, so another great game of football is in store.
When the two sides met earlier in the season, they played out a 1-1 draw at Scotswood, Ryan Carr giving the Robins the lead in the first half before Liam Henderson pulled Blue Star level.
We hope that you can join us to cheer on the lads, if not, you can follow the action as it happens via our live match updates @northshieldsfc
