RACA travel to Moor Park on Saturday, the first of two games that will define our season. The away fixture is a crucial league fixture, while next Wednesday we host Chester le Street Town in the Ernest Armstrong Cup which depending on Saturday’s result, might become the most important game of our season. The Cestrians inflicted our biggest defeat of the season in the reverse fixture, winning 4-0 at the Oldhaulage, ending RACA’s five game winning streak. They have also been regular opponents over the years, the sides having met 33 times in our Northern League era. One player who won’t be featuring is Josh Skivington who starts a three match ban on Saturday. If you’re planning to head down, the address is Moor Park, Chester Moor, Chester-le-Street DH2 3BX. Howay the RACA!!!
