Saturday sees Albion host Billingham Synthonia in the second of four home games on the trot. The Synners are currently bottom of Division 2 having had a turbulent start to the season with some heavy defeats early on, but recently having signed numerous players from Yarm & Eaglesciffe Reserves as well as the bulk of their management team, results look a lot more respectable with the last three defeats by just the one goal plus a decent away point as West End thrown into that sequence. Our own season is still a bit start-stop with more stop of late with Wednesday’s disappointing 0-2 against Yarm & Eaglescliffe’s first team the latest setback.

In the 26 previous encounters with the green half of Billingham, we’ve played them in the first division, second division, the FA Cup, FA Vase, the E Armstrong Cup (they knocked us out of that competition last season) and of course the Durham Challenge Cup final back in 2010 when it was held at Hetton-le-Hole which Synners won 2-0. We did win this corresponding league fixture 2-0 last season though, with Abu Salim scoring both goals in that purple patch he had around this time last year.

Kick off at the Oldhaulage Stadium is at 3pm if you want to make the most of the international break & cheer on the RACA

Albion played out another 2-0 result in a combative game against Yarm & Eaglescliffe, their fourth 2-0 in a row, but sadly were on the wrong side of the score line as two second half goals from Joe Dalton and Peter Bulmer ensured the points went back to Teesside. To add to the woes, the home side had their chances and also missed a penalty with the game at 1-0. The defeat means Ryton drop two places to 15th in the table.

MATCH SUMMARY

RACA faced a Yarm side who had lost just one of their eight league games to date & who had also despatched next Wednesday’s opponents, neighbours Newcastle University, out of the FA Vase so the Albion management team knew they were in for a tough task despite a previous 100% record against the Eagles in Crawcrook.

In autumnal conditions after some welcome rain it was Albion who almost went ahead on 8 minutes when a corner found its way to the head of captain for the night Craig Scott who headed the ball downwards, it bouncing up past the outstretched arm of Lee Roberts in the Yarm goal and bouncing off the bar. Y&E had a decent chance of their own in the 17^th minute from a free kick which Harry Stewart-Titchiner launched into the RACA box, finding Daniel Jones who chested the ball to Harry Williams who struck a sweet first time volley which wasn’t too far wide of the post. The visitors felt harshly done by three minutes later when what looked like a clear handball from a Ryton defender in the box was waved away by the referee, and while they were protesting, Albion broke away smartly with Jack Elliott forcing Roberts in the Yarm goal to come wide and close him down. Elliott managed to find Declan Bisset in the box but by then the Eagles defence had piled into the six yard area, Ethan Jones looking to have been the man in yellow who blocked Bisset’s shot. RACA had a penalty claim of their own turned down on 29 minute when Louis Calvert was bundled over in the box but again the referee wasn’t interested in awarding anything. Calvert had half a chance to get on the scoreboard on 40 minutes when he cut from the right, but the angle was tight & his shot lacked the power to trouble Roberts, who made a routine save. Albion were creating chances but lacked accuracy at the crucial moments, Scott heading wide from a 37^th minute corner being about the best effort as a free kick punctuated half came to a close.

HT RACA 0 Yarm & Eaglescliffe 0

The opening minutes of the second half were uneventful although on the hour mark Stewart-Titchiner almost caught out Albion keeper Callum Corkhill out with a free kick that almost sneaked in to the unguarded side of the goal, but Corkhill was able to scramble back & prevent Y&E opening the scoring. The respite was brief as on 62 minutes Yarm played out a snappy four man move from a throw in that finished with Josh Marshall laying the ball to Joe Dalton who struck the ball sweetly giving Corkhill no chance as it rippled the net. Albion were given a golden opportunity to draw level when the referee awarded the home side a spot kick in the 66^th minute when Declan Bisset was brought down in the box. After much protestation from the visitors, recently introduced substitute Louis Anderson stepped up to take the spot kick but crashed his shot against the bar and the Teessiders were let off the hook. Albion plugged on in an ever increasingly niggly game & on 79 minutes Anderson played a short ball across the box & keeper and defender rather got in each others way allowing Calvert to nip in but Roberts recovered quickly to bravely dive at Calvert’s feet to snatch the ball back. Morgan Dart was next to create a chance when on 80 minutes he played a low cross from near the by-line which evaded several players from both sides before being scrambled to safety near the far post. But any chance of a comeback was snuffed out in the 89^th minute when a ball forward was flicked on by Harry Williams to Marshall who had got goal side of the Ryton defence. He played the ball to Peter Bulmer who eventually knocked home his first goal of the season after evading the desperate slides of RACA defenders to wrap up the game. There was one last chance from Ryton for a consolation when Dart had a shot on goal deep into stoppage time, but while on target, it lacked the power to trouble Roberts too much & Albion were left to rue missed opportunities again.

Ryton face a stiff test on Wednesday as last season’s Division 2 runners-up Yarm and Eaglescliffe visit NE40. The Teessiders sit in 9th place but have games in hand over everyone else in the division, and have lost just the one of their nine league and cup games this season, that a narrow 0-1 loss at FC Hartlepool. Since their promotion from the North Riding League, RACA have played the Eagles four times, winning both home games & losing the two games on Teesside. Last season this was the opening fixture which we won 1-0 with Joe Groves-Forbes, who sat out Saturday’s Park View match due to injury, on target for Albion.

Nice to see Richie Hoggins net his first goal of the season for Newbiggin

Here is our schedule for September. We have six out of seven games at the Oldhaulage provisionally scheduled including the next four.

Ryton put in a flat performance at the Riverside in Chester-le-Street as they went down 0-2 to two second half goals from Park View Academy. Nathan Conroy & Stephen Siyanbola were the men on target as Albion struggled to create much up front at the other end. New signing Danny Driver was in Nathan’s starting XI but started his Albion career on the losing side who drop two places to 13th in the second division table.

MATCH SUMMARY

RACA fielded new signing Danny Driver in the starting XI at the Riverside & in an otherwise fairly drab game it was noticeable how far the signing from Jarrow can get from a throw in. It took 18 minutes for any meaningful effort to materialise & it came from RACA when one of the aforementioned Driver long throws was punched out by Academy keeper James Hughes. Midweek hero Louis Calvert collected the loose ball, nutmegged his marker & struck the ball goalwards which Hughes parried, fortunately for him the ball landing behind the predatory Louis Anderson who was waiting for a tap in, and it was cleared by Jamie Frizzel. Park View responded a minute later with a run down the right flank by Rayhan Grimaud who found Sam Beattie, his shot on goal being smothered by Ryton keeper Callum Corkhill. The Academy’s Jacob Mallinson also had a first half shot on target on 33 minutes, but it was from distance and was an easy stop for Corkhill. The half came to an end with little for the 90 spectators to enthuse about during the interval, Ryton reaching the milestone of three and a half league games without conceding a goal.

HT Park View 0 RACA 0

The home side soon put paid to Albion’s defensive solidity when on 52 minutes, they opened the scoring. A Dylan Robson throw was headed on by Alexander Clark, the ball falling to Nathan Conroy who turned his marker in the box & fired home his sixth goal of the season into the corner of the net. RACA pressed the self destruct button on 71 minutes when dispossessed trying to play the ball out of defence, the ball rolling kindly to the unmarked Stephen Siyanbola who had the simple task of slotting home past Corkhill. Albion came close to pulling a goal back on 75 minutes when Morgan Dart took advantage of a Grimaud error & sped down the wing, squaring the ball to Fergus Lynch who struck the ball well enough, but Hughes pulled off a good save to push the ball out for a corner. Albion almost shot themselves in the foot again in the 81^st minute when Kurtis Dodds miskicked a ball in a defensive position, the ball being picked up by Siyanbola who found Zac Boddy who struck a shot that had Corkhill beaten but clipped the top of the bar. There was one final half chance for the home side on 84 minutes when Mallinson cut in a ball to Ben Gallagher whose shot rippled the net but fortunately for Albion it was the side netting that the ball nestled in.

FT PARK VIEW 2 RACA 0 Attendance 90

Albion’s poor form on Saturday afternoons continues having lost four of five games on the traditional time slot & we’ve still yet to win outside the Tyne Valley this season. Thankfully the next game is on Wednesday night against Yarm & Eaglescliffe, the first in a run of four home games following the forced switch of venue of our Billingham Synthonia game, so an ideal opportunity to accrue some points & move back up the table through the first half of September.

RACA- Corkhill, Blakey, Skivington (Dart 56), Lynch (Whittaker 77), Driver, Dodds, Salkeld (Elliott 56), Luke, Calvert, Bisset, Anderson (Johnston 65). Unused Substitute Adotey.

Albion make the trip to Chester-le-Street to face Park View AFC, formerly Chester-le-Street United on Saturday. The Stags sit in 4th place and grabbed a fine 0-0 draw in midweek at Seaham Red Star three days after winning their Vase tie 2-0 against Steeton who are in the same division as Holker Old Boys. The clubs have met six times before, RACA winning twice, with three drawn games & Park View winning our last meeting at the Oldhaulage Stadium 3-0 in March. Hopefully we’ve seen the worst of the injuries with Morgan Dart and Callum Johnston making comebacks in midweek & in addition, Nathan has the option of fielding new signing from Jarrow, Danny Driver.

If you’re planning on heading down to cheer on the RACA, Park View are back at the Riverside unlike last season when we played them at Ford Hub, & the address is Riverside, Chester-le-Street DH3 3SH

Albion put in a workmanlike performance to see off Alnwick Town, Louis Calvert scoring a goal in each half to clinch the points. Town had their chances but couldn’t find the net, & as a result RACA kept a third consecutive clean sheet in the league & move into the top half of the table for the first time this season.

MATCH SUMMARY

Both sides came into this game on the back of away defeats in the the FA Vase & with the exception of the Esh Winning game, with RACA struggling to find the net of late, while Alnwick’s early season goalscoring fairy dust looked to have worn off. On a pleasant evening at the Oldhaulage Stadium, Ryton boss Nathan Beckham was able to field new signing Charlie Whittaker and returnees from injury, Morgan Dart and Callum Johnson on the bench.

A quiet start to the game saw headers by Albion’s Jack Salkeld & Alnwick’s Euan Potts go narrowly wide without giving either keeper too much concern, but on 9 minutes Albion’s Louis Calvert opened the scoring following a fine solo run after receiving the ball from Davy Luke beating four defenders before slotting home past former RACA keeper Aaron Carr from not the easiest of angles. Wick came close to levelling on 24 minutes when another former Ryton player Ryan Smith received the ball from a Joe Egglestone throw in. He spun and lobbed the ball over the approaching defenders & keeper Callum Corkhill the ball hitting the bar although Corkhill might just have got his fingertips to it. And that was it for meaningful efforts in the first 45 minutes with Calvert’s goal lighting up an otherwise fairly uneventful half.

HT RACA 1 Alnwick Town 0

Albion created the first decent chance of the second period when in the 47^th minute the ball spun to Fergus Lynch following a coming together of Calvert & Alnwick’s Yannick Aziakonou. The captain for the night sweetly struck a first time volley that whistled over Carr’s bar though the keeper looked to have it covered had the ball dipped further. The visitors had a fine opportunity to equalise from a 58^th minute Egglestone corner that somehow evaded everyone in the Ryton box, eventually coming to the unmarked Aziakounou on the far post, but he too was unable to make any contact with his head on the ball which continued to safety, leaving the Alnwick number 8 with his head in his hands instead of being on the end of a cross. Two minutes later and Wick were on the offensive again as Egglestone went on one of his runs, firing in a shot that took a slight deflection causing Corkhill to spill the ball which was picked up by Jaymie Shell, but with two Alnwick teammates on the RACA goalline waiting for a tap in, Corkhill was able to block then smother Shell’s shot and the danger was averted. The 67^th minute gave Alnwick the best chance yet to restore parity when an up and under from Jamie Clark caught the Albion defence flat footed & Potts raced through with just the keeper to beat and the unmarked Max Anderson also goal side of the defenders, but Town’s top scorer went for goal but managed to put his effort wide. RACA looked to have wrapped up the points on 79 minutes following a punt upfield. Wick defender Evan Wilkinson aware of the presence of Louis Calvert, tried to head the bouncing ball back to Carr but got nowhere near enough power on it, and Calvert nipped in and dinked the ball past the advancing goalie to make it 2-0. Wick weren’t quite done with yet and when an 88^th minute RACA attack broke down Daniel Cherry raced forward with the ball and found Anderson on a run with a fine pass, but in keeping with his side’s profligacy in front of goal on the evening, Anderson fired his shot over the bar & with that went any change of a comeback. Three very satisfying points for Albion considering the number of unavailable players, and no doubt pleasing for the management team that both Dart & Johnson were able to make second half appearances & the side kept another clean sheet.

Albion entertain high flying Alnwick Town at the Oldhaulage Stadium on Wednesday evening. The Wick sit in 6th place in the table before tonight’s games, having scored 21 goals in their 8 league games so far, the joint highest in the division with Seaham Red Star, and hot shot Euan Potts has scored a dozen of them. Thankfully for their opponents, the goals are drying up a little after a blistering start where they netted 17 times in their opening four games including a 6-0 win at Grangetown. Alnwick like us lost away to NWCFL North opposition in the FA Vase on Saturday, losing 4-1 at Nelson, but prior to that hadn’t lost since the opening game of the season going down to the odd goal in seven at Jarrow. As RACA’s injury list grows manager Nathan Beckham will be hopeful of a clean bill of heath for one or two of the walking wounded, one of which is Morgan Dart who scored in the 1-1 draw in the corresponding fixture last season.

Kick-off for the Alnwick game is at 7:30pm on Wednesday

Injury ravaged Albion’s long trek to Barrow in Furness ended as it did twelve seasons ago, being eliminated from the Vase at the first hurdle. A goal in the first half by the impressive Charlie McGladdery & a controversial second half penalty converted by Jamie Hodgson ensured the Cumbrians advanced to host Route One Rovers in the 2nd Qualifying Round leaving RACA to focus on some upcoming tricky league games.

MATCH SUMMARY

RACA made the long trek to Barrow for the first time in 12 years to face North West Counties Football League North (Step 6) side Holker Old Boys. On a pleasant day with a beautiful backdrop, Holker kicking down the slope, created the first chance in the third minute when Jamie Hodgson played a pinpoint cross-field ball to Charlie McGladdery running down the right wing. McGladdery cut in, beat a defender then fired a low drive that Albion keeper Callum Corkhill blocked with his legs. RACA’s response was a defence splitting ball from Dan Ord up the field to Louis Calvert who just got the better of his marker but his shot on goal was an easy gather for Cobs keeper Matthew Bailey. Calvert was back in the thick of it seconds later when Davie Luke blocked a Holker clearance, the ball falling to Declan Bisset who teed up Calvert but he could only fire his shot wide. The host created their next chance in the 14^th minute when two Lukes combined, Luke Davey swung in a corner while Luke Mitchell muscled his way to create space for himself in the box but was ultimately disappointed when he nodded his header wide of the Ryton goal. Davey assisted with the next chance for the Old Boys when he played in McGladdery who sprinted past several Ryton defenders only to trundle his shot wide after doing all the hard work. The half hour point saw the closest either side had come to scoring when Holker were awarded a free kick which Jamie Hodgson curled past the three man wall, the ball crashing off the post to the relief of the Albion contingent among the 112 spectators. Nine minutes later & the Cumbrians got the goal their play probably deserved, A Hodgson corner ball landed on the heads of both Mitchell and Josh Woodend before McGladdery nodded home from close range. On the stroke of half time, Davey broke away and tied to lob Corkhill to double his side’s advantage, but his effort was too high & Holker had to settle for a single goal lead.

HT Holker Old Boys 1 RACA 0

The second half saw a more competitive Ryton side enjoying more possession and time in the Holker half without ever threatening Bailey’s goal too much. Bisset struck a decent free kick that wasn’t too far off target in the 70^th minute, while at the other end Brandon Collins struck a decent shot from distance though Corkhill stopped that one easily enough. Referee Jack Hargreaves became the central figure in the 76th minute when he awarded a penalty to the hosts when Kurtis Dodds was rather harshly penalised when challenging McGladdery in the box. Once the protestations from the Ryton players subsided, Jamie Hodgson unruffled by the kerfuffle calmly struck the ball out of Corkhill’s reach to put one foot in the next round. Albion plugged on without really looking like getting a goal back & had the further worry of seeing Calvert struggling with an injury to add to the medical woes for manager Nathan Beckham. Holker Old Boys progress to host Route One Rovers in the 2^nd Qualifying Round.

Despite the defeat, all connected with RACA seemed to enjoy their day at Rakesmoor Lane with Holker Old Boys being the perfect hosts, but the focus now switches to Alnwick Town on Wednesday night.

RACA face a trip to the far side of the lake district with a trip to North West Counties Football League side Holker Old Boys who play at the same level as ourselves in their Division One North. We last visited the Rakesmoor Lane Stadium in the Vase back in 2012 and were beaten 5-1.

ALBION’S FA VASE FORM AGAINST NORTH WEST COUNTIES LEAGUE SIDES

Ryton have previously met NWCFL opposition on nine occasions in our FA Vase exploits, including in our first four Vase ties. In 2003/04, our first season in the Northern League / FA Vase, we were drawn away to Poulton Victoria on the Wirral but were beaten 4-1 in Wallasey in the 1^st Qualifying Round. The Vics have dropped a few levels since then, last seen in the lower reaches of the 3^rd Division of the West Cheshire League last season (the rough equivalent of the 2^nd Division of the Northern Alliance)

The following season Ryton were given a home draw in the 1^st Qualifying Round, with Manchester based Abbey Hey making the trip to the Tyne Valley. We recorded our first ever Vase win after a 3-2 victory against the current NWCFL Premier League side. The reward was a home tie against another NWCFL side in the 2^nd Qualifying Round, this time against Flixton who were despatched 5-2. Sadly Flixton FC folded in 2012 due to dwindling support. Back to 2004/05 & Ryton were rewarded with another home tie in the 1^st Round Proper against relative giants Skelmersdale United, now in the Liverpool County Premier League (step 7) but at the time, Skem proved too good for us winning 3-1 at Kingsley Park.

There was to be a gap of nine years until we faced our next NWCL opposition, a 2^nd Qualifying draw in the 2013/14 competition away to Holker Old Boys on the outskirts of Barrow in Furness. A RACA side struggling badly in the league, surprisingly took the lead through a Dean Sinclair goal, but the superior fitness of the Cumbrians came to the fore as the hosts ran out 5-1 winners. Holker are still in the NWCL today, in the 1^st Division North.

In 2023/24 as a reward for beating 1^st Division Penrith, we were drawn at home against NWCL Premier Division Cheadle Town in the 2^nd Qualifying Round. The Step 5 side had the upper hand in an eight goal thriller winning 5-3 with goals for Albion coming from Fergus Lynch (2) & Richie Hoggins.

In last year’s tournament in the 2^nd Preliminary Round, we welcomed 1^st Division North Garstang to the Oldhaulage Stadium and beat them 5-2 with a Louis Calvert hattrick plus goals from Abu Salim & Matty Todd propelling us into the 1^st Round proper to face NWCFL Premier League side Barnoldswick Town, again at home. A very even first half was followed by a second 45 minutes that Albion dominated, with Rhys McLeod, Louis Calvert and Joe Groves-Forbes all scoring in a 3-0 victory to send RACA into the 2^nd Round for only the second time ever. With most at RACA hoping for a fun away day, once again we were drawn at home yet again, & to another North West Counties side in West Didsbury & Chorlton of the Premier League. Sadly for Albion this is where the run ended as the visitors deservedly won 2-0 though we had the handicap of Glenn Caygill being sent off.

On to 2025/26 & we finally get an away tie and it’s back at Holker Old Boys who currently sit 7^th in the NWCFL 1^st Division North. They’ve not had the intensive start RACA have had, having just played 4 games to our 8, getting off to a flyer with a 5-0 win over Nelson (who we hosted in a pre season friendly a few years back) then beating Fulwood Amateurs away 4-1. However two 2-1 home defeats to Steeton and to Darwen have tempered enthusiasm a little so hopefully RACA can put in a better showing than we did back 12 years ago & head back to the North East with a home tie against Route One Rovers…. more on them if we make it through!
