Avro will be looking to continue a positive run of form in the league as The Ro host Newcastle Town at The Vestacare tomorrow afternoon. It comes just 72 hours after Avro made it back-to-back league wins with a 2-1 home victory against Vauxhall Motors on Wednesday night. Goals from Oliver Putnam and Kyle Hawley ensured Avro returned to winning ways after recent cup disappointments.
It will prove to be a tough encounter against a resilient Newcastle Town side who always prove hard to beat with a strong defensive base. However, Avro will head into the fixture with confidence as we look to make it three league wins in a row, a run that could see The Ro end the day finish as high as second depending on results elsewhere.
We would like to thank supporters for their support and attendance in recent weeks in what has been a busy spell at The Vestacare which has seen The Ro play 4 of 5 fixtures on home soil. We have much needed midweek break before we
Newcastle Town:
Newcastle Town emerged in its current format from a merger with Parkway Clayton in 1986. They play at The Red Industries Stadium in the Lyme Vallery Parkway. With a respectable capacity of 4,000 with 1,000 of this capacity being covered. Their stadium is popularly known for the surrounding cycling track around the pitch. They enjoyed immediate success after finishing runners up in the Mid Cheshire League and therefore moving to the North West Counties. They finished the season in 16th last season but proved that they were a challenge for any side as they boasted one of the best defensive records in the league as only Widnes, Hednesford Town and Avro conceding less. They will be hoping for a turnaround in form tomorrow away at Avro as they sit 20th in the current campaign, losing 4 of their opening 5 fixtures.
Head to Head:
A meeting between Newcastle Town and Avro is typically a tight competitive fixture and the head-to-head record reflects this. In the four meetings over the past two seasons, both sides have two wins a piece. Apart from a surprise 3-0 victory at The Vestacare for Newcastle at The Vestacare in 2024, the rest have played out with just the one goal difference. The last time they faced at The Vestacare, Avro ran out 2-1 victors after a double from Kyle Hawley. Heading into this weekend’s fixture, Avro will be looking to take the advantage and claim maximum points.
