Albion host old rivals Whickham in a pre-season friendly tomorrow (Saturday) with a 1:30pm kick off hoping to keep the unbeaten pre season run going. The sides haven’t met competitively since Whickham’s promotion season of 2017/18 when the Lang Jacks did the double over us, so an overdue victory for RACA is hopefully on the cards. Whickham have played two away friendlies, drawing 1-1 with Jarrow and beating Esh Winning & Deerness Valley 1-0 at Waterhouses. Admission to this game is £3 for adults and free for under 16s
