After Wednesday’s cup postponement we try again on Saturday for a league Tyne Valley derby which will be the eighth Northern League meeting of the two sides. RACA have finally put their stamp on the fixture of late, winning the last two games including the 4-1 win over Dean Walker’s men at Essity Park in August. The injured Jack Salkeld, Joe Groves-Forbes and Louis Anderson were on target for RACA in that game, while Prudhoe’s Brad Rogers put the ball in his own net. The Seniors’ goal in the right net came from Tom Wilson . It hasn’t always been like that though as Albion managed to pick up a paltry one point from fifteen in the opening five derbies & have lost all three home games against the red & black side of the Tyne Valley, so Albion gaffer Nathan Beckham will be keen to break with tradition there.

Kick off tomorrow is at 3pm so hope you can get down to what’s always a much awaited fixture, your support is appreciated by all. The weather forecast in NE40 is for a fair bit of rain so keep an eye out on social media & the Northern League website just in case this match is in jeopardy too, but hopefully we can enjoy a full blooded derby game. Hope to see you there.
