Next up for RACA is a trip to Easington Colliery on Thursday evening. While we’ve won our last three games, the promotion chasing Colliers have had a mini slump losing their last three, most recently a 0-3 home defeat to Newcastle Blue Star. Easington beat us on penalties in the Brooks Mileson League Cup at Kingsley Park in November but we’ve not met in the league yet this season with our home game against them scheduled to be our final game of the regular season.

Kick off is at 7:30pm on Thursday 8th February and if you’re planning on heading down the A19 to cheer on the black & blue, the address of their ground is Welfare Park, Memorial Avenue, Easington Colliery SR8 3PL and if you’ve been there before you’ll know you can’t park right next to the stadium.
