We turn our attentions to a potentially dramatic afternoon at The Brewery Field with a full and in-depth preview of Farsley Celtic’s National League North visit.
Spennymoor Town v Farsley Celtic
Saturday 29th April 2023, 3pm
National League North
The Brewery Field
In Opposition
Farsley Celtic arrive at The Brewery Field hoping to secure their survival in National League North on the final day for the second season in succession.
Russ Wilcox’s side know they need a point to absolutely guarantee their status, but defeat to Moors coupled with results for Kettering Town and Blyth Spartans would send them down.
Having battled so hard to get out of the bottom four, The Celt Army will be determined to finish the job off and they travel to County Durham on the back of a gutsy 2-1 win over Gloucester City last time out.
The first half of the campaign was a tough one for the team, but they tasted defeat just five times between the beginning of December and the end of February and now have survival in sight.
One To Watch
Frank Mulhern will be keen to impress on his return to The Brewery Field having left the Club last February before penning a deal with Farsley Celtic.
The front man was on target from the penalty spot when the sides met at The Citadel earlier in the season and will need to be well marshalled on his return to the North East this weekend.
Head To Head
This weekend’s game will be the sixth competitive meeting between the two sides and Moors have won three of the previous five encounters.
Jason Ainsley’s men did the double over Farsley last season but had to come from two goals down to rescue a point when they made the trip to The Citadel earlier this term.
Farsley’s last visit to The Brewery Field resulted in a 6-0 defeat.
On The Whistle
The man in the middle for this weekend’s big game will be John Mulligan, and he will be assisted by Stephen Beresford and Dan Ranson.
