🏃🏻‍♂️ With no match today the Hillmen have a well earned rest to celebrate long time servant Greg Woodburn’s wedding to Megan, but not all the lads get to relax this weekend.

Tomorrow we have a number of players running the Great North Run, so good luck to Chris Coe who is raising money to fight breast cancer and the other lads who are running for “fun” - Michael Old, Ciaran Hanna and Nolan Law.

You can donate to Chris’ fundraiser here ⬇️

This year I’ll be running the Great North Run for a charity very close to our hearts. I’m raising money for Against Breast Cancer to help fund vital research, raise awareness, and support early diagno

North Shields Athletic Reserves 6-1 Rothbury Football Club

Rothbury travelled to North Shields on Friday night in blustery conditions, looking to build on their steady start to the campaign. Unfortunately, it proved to be a difficult evening for the Reds as they were well beaten by a strong North Shields side.

Rothbury found themselves 3-0 down at half-time, with goals from Green, an own goal and Spencer. A number of individual errors proved costly for Rothbury, allowing the hosts to take a commanding lead into the break.

After a few words in the dressing room, Rothbury came out with a renewed sense of purpose in the second half. The Reds moved the ball quicker and began to create more opportunities, looking to get Coe and Aynsley into dangerous positions.

However, North Shields extended their advantage when another mistake at the back gifted Crass a simple tap-in to make it 4-0.

Rothbury made multiple changes in an attempt to change the dynamic of the game and were eventually rewarded with a goal. Macpherson reacted quickest during a scramble inside the box to fire home and give the Reds a consolation.

Despite the goal, North Shields remained in control and added two further goals to complete a comprehensive 6-1 victory.

A deserved win for the home side, but a performance well below the standards Rothbury have set themselves this season. The Reds will now look to regroup and return to winning ways when they face Hexham at home in the Minor Cup on 19th September.

Rothbury Football Club 2-0 Wallsend Boys Club Reserves

Rothbury ran out comfortable winners on Saturday against Wallsend Boys Club Reserves. The game started fairly evenly with the Reds enjoying the better of the physical battle and Wallsend playing some neat football.

As the first half progressed, Rothbury gained a foothold and started to exert pressure on the visitors goal and that pressure paid off when excellent work from man of the match Joe Aynsley (sponsored by Kyle Smith Plumbing and Heating) saw him out strength the defender to find a shooting angle which was saved into the path of the returning Paul Dunn (sponsored by Young’s Electrical Contractors) who slotted home.

Moments later, Rothbury doubled their lead, with Iwan Read taking advantage of the Wallsend keeper being sin binned. As he advanced down the right flank, Iwan (sponsored by Ayre Property Services) hit a speculative “shot” that found its way into the goal, described as a top corner rocket by the scorer himself!!!

The second half followed a similar pattern with Wallsend enjoying large spells of possession but defended excellently by the Reds. Rothbury had chances to extend their lead but had to settle for the 2-0 win, a pleasing victory for Proudlock’s men with a clean sheet and 3 points to move up to 7th in the table.
