The Robins will be looking to build on Saturday’s point gained at Brighouse, tomorrow night when we entertain Stockton Town at the Daren Persson Stadium.
A team currently sitting second top and looking to keep in touching distance of league leaders, Worksop Town. The Anchors had hit a bad patch of form, winless in four games before hitting Lincoln United for five at the weekend.
The Robins picked up their first point of 2023, earning a hard fought draw on the road at Brighouse, Paul Van-Zandvliet and an own goal helping them along the way.
If the last time the two sides met is anything to go by, then there should be no shortage of excitement. A cracking game earlier in the season, in which the scoreline does not do the Robins justice as over the course of the 90 minutes, you could argue we were the better team, but Stocktons blistering start and clinical counter-attacking play were too much for us on the night. Not forgetting Regan Paterson wonder strike, latching onto a Cam Cunningham diagonal to pick out the top corner with a first time volley from outside the area.
We hope you can join us to cheer on the lads!
