Albion kick off the season at The Oldhaulage Stadium on Wednesday evening with the visit of Sunderland West End, one of the two teams who had a worse result than us on the opening day having gone down 4-1 at home to Seaham Red Star. Kick off is at 7:30pm, it’s forecast for dry evening so head down if you can to cheer on the RACA as we aim to get the first points on the board and begin the climb up the table.
Since they joined the Northern League in 2019/20 season, we’ve played West End 11 times in league and cup and there hasn’t been a drawn game to date with RACA winning 7 and losing 4. (and for those of you keeping count it’s 138 competitive games since Albion played a 0-0!) However the Wearsiders have done better in the Tyne Valley than at home in the league, having won three of their five trips to NE40, although we did thump them 6-1 at HQ in the Durham Challenge Cup 1st Round in 21/22.
