RACA make the trip to basement club Esh Winning today hoping to complete the double over the Stags following the 8-0 win at home in August. Esh are going through a torrid spell having lost their last thirteen games, not having scored in their last seven, resulting in Scott Oliver stepping down as manager with Jonny Swift taking charge again. Albion aren’t in great form themselves but will be buoyant following the midweek win over Prudhoe in the E Armstrong Cup & hattrick hero Louis Calvert will be hoping to add to his goals tally following his confidence boosting showing on Tuesday.

If you’re planning to head to the Deerness Valley the address for your satnav is West Terrace, Waterhouses, Esh Winning, County Durham, DH7 9BQ

Another date for your diary relating to the Ernest Armstrong Cup is 28/01/26 when we host Chester-le-Street Town in the 2nd Round
