Current League Position: 15th
Tomorrow afternoon we head into our penultimate home game of the 2024/25 season as Northallerton Town are the visitors to the Daren Persson Stadium.
Our visitors tomorrow currently reside in 15th place in the standings, recent results have seen them pick up valuable points against promotion changing outfits Boro Rangers (2-2) and Newcastle Blue Star (0-0) along with a good win on the road at Whickham (2-1).
Brian Smith’s side will be looking to put things right after defeat last time out, losing 3-1 at home to Kendal Town on Non League Day last Saturday, a Matt Dudley brace and Steven Yawson’s strike gave the Mincakes a 3-0 lead before the hour mark, Will McCamley gave the Robins a sniff of a lifeline with just under 10 minutes left but the damage was done.
When the two sides met back in August at the Calvert Stadium, it was the hosts who ran out 2-0 winners as Alistair Banks bagged a brace.
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
