Rothbury v. Seaton Sluice
Team Valley Carpets Northern Football Alliance Division Two
Armstrong Park, Rothbury
Saturday 20th April 2019, kick-off 2.30pm.
MATCH SPONSOR: PAPA G'S PIZZA, ROTHBURY
Get down to Armstrong Park and help cheer the lads to
success – that’s the message from the Rothbury camp as they prepare to take on
Seaton Sluice on Saturday.
The Reds management have been delighted with the support
that has lined the banks around the pitch this season and with numbers
approaching the three-figure mark on several occasions, they hope that the Bank
Holiday sunshine can attract a record turnout.
Title rivals Blyth FC turned around a 1-0 half time deficit
at Gateshead Redheugh in midweek to record a 2-1 success that took them to
within 11 points of Rothbury, both teams now having played 25 games. The two
sides meet at Armstrong Park next weekend.
“The crowds have been massive for us this
season. There are teams in the Northern League getting less than us,” said
player coach Tom Macpherson.
“We’ve been buzzing with the home crowds -
I think that shows with our home record where we are unbeaten in the league.”
With 24-goal striker Richie Clarke leading the line for the
visitors, Macpherson will have a job on his hands marshalling the in-form
targetman but the Coquetdalers, as ever, have done their homework on the
travelling side and will approach the game in the same professional manner.
“We won’t be taking Seaton Sluice for
granted,” admitted Macpherson.
“Their form has improved massively since
the new management took over so we will have to be wary of that, striker Richie
Clarke in particular. We are looking forward to it. We have been playing some
quality stuff in recent weeks so it should be a good game in the sun.”
The Reds are missing a couple of players
but otherwise have a full squad available to select from.
