Match Preview: South Shields FC vs Peterborough Sports



We host Peterborough Sports at the 1st Cloud Arena in the Vanarama National League North.


In-form South Shields have come away from their last 2 games with maximum points having faced Farsley Celtic (5-1) and Alfreton Town.


Elliott Dickman's side have scored 9 goals in their last 2 games, only conceding 3 and currently sit in 9th place, 3 points from a play-off spot.


THE OPPOSITION


The Turbines currently sit in 17th place in the league and in their previous 5 games have won two and drew three.


Managed by duo Michael Gash and Luke Steele, both will be looking to put up a fight against the in-form Mariners.


Elliott's Thoughts


"We would like to give a warm South Shields welcome to Luke Steele, Michael Gash their staff, players, directors and all involved with Peterborough Sports FC.


Tuesday night’s performance and result was outstanding, the players were brilliant both with and without the ball, our supporters were amazing and got right behind the team on what was a really cold night. Again, we scored four brilliant goals, and our display was one of a proper team.


We now need to make sure we finish our week off in a positive manner with today’s game. All the games in our league are very difficult and we need to make sure we continue with the best version of ourselves today."
