The fixtures are out for a long and tough-looking Northern League Division 1 2012-13 season.
RCA kick off on Saturday, 18 August at home to Consett. The next match is away to new league arrivals Durham City. We begin September with an away trip to Celtic Nation FC, the new name for Carlisle based Gillford Park. The matches then come thick and fast, including away at the Bay, West Auckland at home before we entertain newly promoted Team Northumbria on 2 October. We end October with a visit to new league club Darlington FC 1883. Our Boxing Day match has a familiar feel to it: we are at home to South Shields.
Darlington FC 1883 and Durham City visit Meadow Park in January and February. We host newly promoted Hebburn Town in March. We finish off the season with some tough looking games away to Ashington and Bedlington and then home to Billingham Synthonia for the final match of the season.
Let's hope the weather does not play too much havoc with the best laid plans!
We are away to Crook in the first round of the League Cup and if they progress will be away to either Stokesley or Tow Law.
