Big Weekend ahead for Tooths side.

The Royals face two tough games over the Easter weekend when they entertain high flying Newcastle Town tomorrow (sat) before facing a tricky away game at Tividale Fc on Monday.

Following an enforced 2 week break the Royals manager says his side are chomping at the bit to get back into the play off shake up.

"We have dropped out of the top 5 for the first time this season and we are not happy with that" Said Tooth. "We need to win both games this weekend and if we don't I fear we will have too much to do in our remaining games as the sides around us are all in great form and winning games."

Saturdays opponents Newcastle are one of those sides Tooth refers too and the manager thinks it will be a tight game. "We have played Newcastle 3 times already this season and all at their place so we know enough about them and likewise they know all about us. They don't need to beat us tomorrow they just need to avoid defeat to maintain the 7 point gap and that would be too big a gap for us to claw back with 4 games left so I fully expect them to come for a point. Either way we simply have to win and our preparation has been geared up to taking the 3 points on Saturday."

Mondays game see the Royals make the short trip across to Tividale who themselves are having a fantastic 1st season at this level.
"Tividale have done really well" said Tooth, "Its a cracking club and the people involved are really passionate about the club and none more than the manager Ian Long. They will want to beat us on Monday as they are determined to finish as high as they can but we owe them one as they turned us over at our place. Not many sides have outplayed us on our pitch but Tividale did and we will give them the respect they deserve going into the game. We know the pitch will be heavy and they will be in our faces form the off but again its a game we have to win."

Kick Off for both games is 3pm and for those travelling to Tividale the address is,

Packwood Rd,
Tividale,
West Midlands B69 1UL
