Friday night is derby night as RACA make the short trip to Essity Park to play Prudhoe YC Seniors in the latest instalment of the eagerly awaited Tyne Valley Derby.

Albion are hoping to make it six wins on the spin in the league against a Prudhoe side with just one win in seventeen league and cup games.

Surely an away banker? Not so straightforward as that, as Prudhoe have the Indian sign over us, and turned us over 3-1 at Kingsley Park in the reverse fixture back in September.

Fergus Lynch got our goal for us that night and we had Aaron Costello dismissed. Prudhoe’s scorers were Ben Dibb-Fuller and former players Bradley Lowes and Kyle Cockburn.

The only positive for us that night was the bumper crowd of 422, still our highest attendance this season.

The Seniors also did the double over us last season winning 2-0 at RACA and 3-1 at Prudhoe in their first season in the Northern League.

If you want your Friday night football fix get down to Essity Park, Prudhoe, NE42 5EH, and get behind RACA’s push for the play offs! Kick off is scheduled for 7:30pm.
