RACA Renew Rivalry with Newbiggin

Albion make the trip to the South Northumberland coast to face AFC Newbiggin for the second time in a fortnight with the first competitive game between the sides at Holcim Park. RACA will be keen to shake off the heavy defeat to Chester-le-Street Town on Saturday while the Biggin will be buzzing following the 1-0 win at Boldon CA on Tuesday, Ethan Smith scoring a stoppage time goal to pinch the three points that move them up to 11th place in the table. Hopefully the conditions will be drier than the reverse fixture in Crawcrook where Albion won by the odd goal in five in heavy rain, Johnston & Bisset (2) on target for RACA, Matthew Nelson & Ethan Smith scoring for AFC Newbiggin.

If you’re travelling up to watch the boys, the address for your Sat Nav is Newbiggin Sports and Community Centre, Woodhorn Rd, Newbiggin-by-the-Sea NE64 6HG
