It was back in April 2018 that South Shields won our league - known then as NPL Division 1 North. They spent only two seasons in this league after gaining promotion from Northern Division 2 in April 2016. After finishing second in NPL Premier Division in 18/19 but losing in the play offs, they were sitting 1st after 33 games in 19/20 season when the dreaded Covid put paid to their likely promotion. 20/21 was ended after only 9 games, but they finished 2nd again in 21/22 only to lose in the play offs again.
So into their 5th campaign in NPL Premier, they will be hoping to gain promotion in April.
South Shields are 3rd with 12 points from 6 games (NPL Premier)
Reds are 17th with 4 points from 5 games
South Shields at home in the league 2-1-0
Reds away in the league 0-1-1
Recent South Shields results:
29 Aug South Shields 1-0 Morpeth
27 Aug Nantwich 0-1 South Shields
23 Aug South Shields 1-1 Gainsborough
20 Aug Marine 2-2 South Shields
16 Aug Ashton Utd 1-1 South Shields
13 Aug South Shields 2-0 Stalybridge
South Shields overall this season 3-3-0
Reds overall this season 2-1-3
Undefeated this season, they begin their FAC campaign in this round.
On offer today is £2250 and a place in the hat for FAC2QR for the winners. £750 for the losers.
After our 0-7 victory in the Preliminary Round, this will be a tough trip for Reds. South Shields will be clear favourites, helped not least by Reds poor form. Looking here for one of those shock results that happen in the FAC. Come on you Reds.
