Once again RACA have been drawn at home in a cup tie. This time we host Darlington Town in one of the nine ties in the Preliminary Round of the Durham Challenge Cup, with that game expected to be played on Wednesday 11th September, meaning our home game v Redcar Town gets moved to a week later. We actually play our league game at Darlington on the Saturday beforehand so the sides will have learnt about each other before the cup game at Kingsley Park.
