Our home league fixture against South Shields, due to be played on Monday, 30 August, has been postponed because of South Shields' FA Cup replay.

RCA came away frustrated from their 1 - 1 draw with Consett on Saturday. The view of spectators was that they had witnessed a terrific match with exciting and attacking football on offer and a great effort from Joe Fairish giving RCA the lead.

Entertainment, excitement and value for money can all be found in the Northern League Division 1 with Sunderland RCA at Meadow Park with three more home matches on the trot:

Tuesday, 23 August, 7:30 PM KO
Sunderland RCA v Bishop Auckland

Friday, 27 August, 7:30 PM KO
Sunderland RCA v Tow Law Town

Monday, 30 August, 12:00 noon KO
Sunderland RCA v South Shields

£4:00 admission. Accompanied children free.
