Match Preview Sunderland RCA v Yarm& Eaglescliffe (A)
Match Preview
Sunderland RCA (a)
26th August 2025 7.30pm Ko
Next up for the Y&E is a trip up the A19 to Meadow Park in Ryhope (SR2 0NZ) to face Sunderland RCA. The match kicks off at 7.30pm and as ever our away games are sponsored by Resolution Compliance. Thanks again for your support.
RCA have a had a decent start to the season, they currently sit in 12th place on 11 points, the same points total as ourselves in 11th place, but due to floodlight issues we have two games in hand. They’ve been solid at home so far and are yet to taste defeat with wins against Ryton & Esh Winning and a 0-0 draw against free scoring Alnwick Town. Their best result of the season so far was a 3-1 away victory vs Redcar Town, with striker Dennis Knight bagging an 8 min hattrick at the start of the ten second half. Based on their home form alone, not to mention the Redcar victory, they will be a difficult opposition for us.
Last season we won 4-1 away at RCA. Dan Jones scoring early, before a Jackson Ward equaliser in the first half. Goals in the final 25mins from Tom, JL10 and Marshy sealed the victory. Our home against them ended up as a 3-1 win. Stoppage time goals in each half from Tom and a Cam Wild header in that game.
The Y&E will be looking to carry on the momentum from the FA Vase victory on Saturday. With more players back from
holiday (although Captain Cam Wild is away in Canada) Jacko has a more players to choose from. Left backs Adam Groom and Sam Conway are both injured, but the ever versatile Joe Dalton had a cracking game at left wing back on Saturday and could continue there.
This is the first in a string of midweek away games over the next month or so and is probably the easiest to get to. The weather forecast looks good and there is a decent little club house at the ground, so it will be great to see plenty of the Y&E faithful there backing the lads. Just remember to park considerately at the ground especially in the housing estate next door.
If you are not able to make it, Minty will be providing updates on Twitter (or X) and James will have match updates on the supporters WhatsApp group.
Howay the mighty up the A19 Y&E
