Just two days after our E Armstrong Cup tie, RACA face the University again, this time in the league at Essity Park in the league on Thursday night. While our own play-off hopes have evaporated, Newcastle University still have a slim chance of making the play-offs but that’s dependent firstly on winning all their games in hand, so they’ll be up for revenge after Tuesday night. There’s still local pride at stake for Albion plus the carrot of beating the Students three times this season. Kick off is at 7:30pm, Howay The RACA!!!

Jarrow join ourselves, Darlington Town and Yarm & Eaglescliffe in the semi finals of the Ernest Armstrong Cup following a 1-0 win over FC Hartlepool in the last quarter final tie.
