Rothbury v Hexham
Team Valley Carpets Combination Cup Quarter Finals
Saturday 2nd November 2019 kick-off 1.30 pm
Get wrapped up and get yourselves down to Armstrong Park to
back the Reds as they face Hexham for a spot in the semi-finals of the
Combination Cup.
Rothbury take on the Tynedalers for the first time in the
club’s history after the last-eight game was postponed due to a waterlogged
pitch a fortnight ago.
And the team are hoping to hear the Armstrong Park roar that
helped them to the Division Two title last season with crowds regularly topping
the three-figure mark.
“We’ve had some good crowds for sure,
maybe more so at the end of the year when going for the League, so hopefully
we’ve got runs in the Combination and Minor Cups to keep the faithful coming
out in all weathers to support!” said manager Dan Herron.
“They play a massive part, as well as
the amazing pitch - the lads loved it last year when there was so many behind
the team.”
Herron says he is looking forward to the game and is
expecting a strong squad to select from.
“Obviously we know Hexham are a decent
side so we need to be sensible in terms of approach, but we will be looking to
play to feet wherever we can as usual,” he added.
Whitley Bay Sporting Club host Cramlington
United in the other tie, with Bedlington FC and Forest Hall already booking
themselves spots in the semis.
Bedlington were 5-2 winners over
Wallsend Boys Club and Forest Hall triumphed 5-4 on penalties over Hebburn Town
u23 after the game ended 4-4.
