Tonight we welcome Whickham to the Daren Persson Stadium in our 18th league game of the season.
Another big game for the Robins against a very good side, who are the last team in this season’s FA Vase competition from the Northern League.
Our opponents were last in action, last Friday night when they hosted Newcastle Benfield at their Glebe Sports Ground home, running out 3-0 winners courtesy of a Scott Robson brace and an effort from Declan Bissett to secure the win.
The Robins in action on Saturday returned home from Teesside empty handed, losing out 0-2 to the Priorymen. Another good performance from the Robins but unable to make it count in the final third.
When the two sides met earlier in the season, the Lang Jacks took the victory with a 2-0 win, two quick fire goals from Scott Robson and Callum Munro securing the 3 points.
We hope you can join us tonight and cheer on the lads, your support is very much appreciated.
For those who are not able to make the game, updates will be available on our social media channels @northshieldsfc
