RACA have another midweek off competitive action so next up is a trip to South Tyneside to face unbeaten Boldon CA on Saturday. Albion have a great record against ‘Villa’ having won seven and drawn three of the ten games played since Boldon’s promotion to the Northern League. Last season this fixture produced one of those Ryton rarities, a goalless draw, our last double blank in the league, but the season before RACA won by a staggering 7-0. No chance as a repeat of that result as Boldon are a different proposition this season, sitting in 2nd place with an array of talented signings. Former Blue Star man Callum Larmouth has scored 13 goals already in league and cup with Liam Thear next in the charts with 7 league goals. They also have four ex RACA players in their ranks, Alfa Djalo, Dan Gladstone, Luke Page and Luke McCabe.

If you’re thinking of heading down to cheer on the Albion, the post code for Boldon’s ground is NE35 9AN. HOWAY THE RACA!!!
