Tonight we make the short journey over the Tyne as we visit Whickham’s First Mortgage Glebe ground with a 7.30 kick off.
Looking to put Saturday’s defeat behind, we take on an inform Whickham side that reached booked their place in the second qualifying round of the FA Vase with a comprehensive 6-0 win over Campion on Friday night.
In the league they find themselves sat in 12th place, picking up 7 points from 4 games but have games in hand due to cup runs in both the FA Cup and FA Vase.
The Robins will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing defeat at the weekend, which brought an end to the unbeaten start.
When the two sides last met the First Mortgage Glebe, the two sides played out a 1-1 draw as Dan Wilson’s 92 minutes goal, cancelled out Ben Milburn’s opener for the Lang Jack’s.
We hope that you can join us for the game, if not updates will be available on social media @northshieldsfc
