Game Notes
Morpeth Town are currently on a three match winning streak having beaten Consett, North Shield and West Auckland Town in the last 11 days.
Paul Robinson continued his rich vein of form, taking his tally for the season up to five with a brace against West Auckland on Tuesday.
Morpeth will be without goalkeeper Karl Dryden who serves his one game suspension for his red card against Newcastle Benfield.
Otherwise, Nick Gray and Dave Malone should have a full squad to choose from for the game.
Today the Highwaymen face a Sunderland RCA who sit second in the table, and took four points of the FA Vase winners at the end of last season.
The visitors will be without Steven Stewart who is set to serve a suspension. Stephen Callan is the clubs top goalscorer with 4 to date.
