Hope we can keep our unbeaten run going at Stockton. When we went there last season it wasn’t the pleasantest of experiences.

Stockton away is the first of five tough Saturday matches in November. And the first priority must be to try to extend our unbeaten run so that we go into the Curzon Ashton match full of confidence

01 11 25   Stockton Town               A   
08 11 25   Ashton Utd                   H
15 11 25   Curzon Ashton             H    FA Trophy 2nd round 
22 11 25   Stocksbridge P S         H
29 11 25   FC United                       A

Only Stocksbridge are below us in the table and after a poor start they have now started winning matches  (3 wins and a draw in their last 4 matches). 

We should be looking for 3 wins out of those 5 matches 
I’d settle for Trophy progress and 2 league wins. 

Curzon Ashton are a top half team in the National League North with a good away record (Won 3, Drawn 3. Lost 1), but if our unbeaten run is still intact when we meet at the NMG, then we could be in with a chance of causing an upset and reaching the FA Trophy 3rd round.

we're off...

Yellow for a Stockton player for a foul on Marshall.  Stockton looking the more dangerous so far.     0-0.   13 mins

Thornhill shot blocked by a defender. At the other end Roberts does well to grab the ball at Painter's feet. Shouts for a pen but no way.  Another Thornhill effort but this time its wide.             0-0.    17 mins
