Come and watch the reserves take on the league leaders!

 

The reserves face one of their toughest games of the season when they play the Wearside League leaders, Cleator Moor Celtic, at Eastbourne on Saturday.

The lads go into the game on great form, having beaten South Shields Reserves and Hebburn Town Reserves, and drawn at Windscale in their last three matches.

Joint manager Mark Fanning said; “This is a big chance for our lads to test themselves against the league leaders.

“We’ve played some very good and entertaining football in our last three matches, and the lads have shown what they’re capable of.

“We might also have a couple of first teamers in the squad, depending on what Tommy wants to do. It would be great to see a bigger than usual crowd, considering that the first team don’t play until Sunday.”

Ellis Tait and Vinny Steels are both away on County duty, but Jamie O’Brien returns after a few days with England Schoolboys.

But Dale Milburn, who scored two great goals last week, is all set to play.
