Miners in Emirates FA Cup action tomorrow (kick-off 3pm).

After leaving the east coast empty-handed last weekend despite being the better side, Rob Hunter's men travel to The Calvert Stadium hoping another impressive display can see us progress in the FA Cup for the first time in four years.

We face Northern League Division 2 side Northallerton, who've taken four points from their first two league games, their victory being a 6-1 success over Esh Winning last Saturday. The Miners haven't fared so well against Northern League teams in the last few years, can this time be different?

Town will hope it third time lucky against a side we've met twice in the past, both times on home soil. On 19th October 2002 Dave Holmes' team lost out to a single goal in an FA Vase 1st round game, whilst the other was way back on 24th August 1985 in the FA Cup Preliminary Round when a Chris Betteridge goal wasn't enough to avoid a 2-1 defeat.

Jonathan Andrew, Aodhan Brownlee and Aiden Kearsley will again miss out due to injury, however Sanchez Payne and Chris Howard are expected to return after unavailability last weekend.

Hope to see you there, up the Miners!

Please note should the scores be level after 90 mins, a replay would take place at the Bannister Prentice Stadium on Tuesday 14th August (kick-off 7:45pm). This would replace our league fixture against Liversedge.
