MATCH PREVIEW- ROTHBURY v. WHITLEY BAY SC



MATCH SPONSOR:  Big thanks to this weekend's match sponsor, James Edmondson Building Maintenance. Your support is hugely appreciated.

Rothbury boss Danny Olson may have to juggle his side once again as the Reds are short on numbers for the visit of Whitley Bay SC.

“We’re looking forward to the game,” said the boss, who expects the visitors to pose a big challenge for his side.

“We are a little depleted again through injury and prior commitments, but we go again against a WBSC who are riding high in the league and will cause us lots of problems.”

“We have worked a lot more tactically this week and hopefully that will help. A few players owe their team mates a performance this week and let’s hope that comes,” said Olson, whose team are looking to bounce back from a home defeat by Bedlington last time out.
