Tomorrow we welcome West Auckland Town to the Daren Persson Stadium for the second time this season.
When the two sides met last month, the visitor’s advanced to the Second Qualifying Round of the FA Vase, where they will face Newcastle University, courtesy of a remarkable comeback to a two goal deficit with just 10 minutes left on the clock.
Since that game the Robins have been involved in an action packed eventful contest with Redcar Athletic, ending in a 2-2 draw before a win on the road last week at Northallerton Town, where Brad Chisholm was on hand to fire home the solitary goal of the contest.
Our visitors have attained wins against Redcar Athletic and Sunderland RCA and tasted defeat to the hands of West Allotment Celtic and advanced in the Durham Challenge Cup with a win on penalties against Seaham Red Star.
We hope that you can join us to cheer on the lads. If you are not able to join us, updates will be available via social media @northshieldsfc
