Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to Woodhorn Lane for our<br />
EBAC Northern League Division One game against <strong>Hebburn</strong> <strong>Town</strong>.<br />
At Woodhorn Lane we have an average home league attendance of 180 this season<br />
and we’d like to extend an extra warm welcome on what is forecast to be a cold<br />
<strong>November</strong> evening to the players, supporters and officials of <strong>Hebburn</strong> <strong>Town</strong>, we<br />
hope they enjoy their brief stay in South East Northumberland and have a safe<br />
journey home.<br />
After <strong>Ashington</strong>’s run of seven games unbeaten during September and early<br />
October, we have now gone seven games without a win and look tonight to correct<br />
the form which saw the Colliers come away from Dean Street on Saturday with a<br />
point, taking it to four points against Shildon (who currently sit 9th in the table) this<br />
season.<br />
<strong>Hebburn</strong> come into the game off the back of a 3-1 away win against Consett AFC on<br />
Saturday with Ben Dibb-Fuller, Michael Richardson (who scored <strong>Hebburn</strong>’s second<br />
goal against <strong>Ashington</strong> earlier in the season), and Jack Robson scoring the Hornets<br />
goals.<br />
Following today <strong>Hebburn</strong> <strong>Town</strong> will face Dunston UTS who are undefeated in the<br />
league this season on Saturday, before returning to FA Vase action the following<br />
week where they visit Stockton <strong>Town</strong> who were the victors to <strong>Ashington</strong> on the<br />
previous round.<br />
Speaking of the FA Vase, the Northern League who have dominated the<br />
competition in recent years have just six clubs remaining in the competition, with two<br />
all Northern League ties being played on 1st December, guaranteeing two clubs into<br />
the Fourth Round, but also meaning a maximum of four clubs will be in the hat.<br />
Tonight is the first opportunity to donate to the Wansbeck Valley Food Bank at<br />
Woodhorn Lane and we are proud to be able to support this cause which does<br />
amazing work for families in the area. Don’t worry if you want to donate and have<br />
not been able to bring anything this evening, we will be continuing as a donation<br />
point and you can donate at any upcoming home game.<br />
We have two more home games between now and Christmas, the first being<br />
against Dunston UTS on Saturday 1st December, before Sunderland RCA visit<br />
Woodhorn Lane on Saturday 22nd December.<br />
Our Under 17s are also playing their home matches at Woodhorn Lane on a<br />
Sunday, so keep your eyes open for their fixtures and support the future of<br />
<strong>Ashington</strong> CFC.<br />
~ Enjoy the Game.<br />
