You've heard the saying: 'records are meant to be broken' right? Well perhaps Tuesday can be one of those times when a record could do with being broken. Four trips to Craik Park, Morpeth's home, have seen the Holy Blues return empty handed. In fact four trip have yielded no wins, no points & no goals. Just the sort of run of results that the boss, Russ Wilcox will be determined to right!

Despite their lowly league position, they're currently fourth in the home form table, with thirteen points from their last six games, including four straight home wins!. Not to mention three clean sheets in those four games that has given the Highwaymen fresh hope for the season.

While the Blues were left twiddling their thumbs on Saturday, the 'Peth were picking up a point on the road. Away at Saturday's opponents, Warrington Town. The Yellows have been no slouches at home this season, so the point for Craig Lynch's men will have been hard-earned.

The Supporters Club at Morpeth Town are collecting donations for their local foodbank, Wansbeck Valley Foodbank during their games in December and on New Years day. Although there are obviously no expectations to provide a donation, it's a great cause that is worth highlighting!

The Social Club adjoining the ground provides a warm welcome at Morpeth, for those Trinity supporters braving the cold and long midweek travel. Russ & the boys look forward to seeing as many of you making the trip as possible. And as ever, are grateful for the backing you give.

Elsewhere in the Pitching In Northern Premier League there is just one other game. And that could have a bearing on both side's position by full time. So it might be worth keeping an eye on the score at the Map UK Stadium...
