On Saturday the Brewers welcome newly promoted Spennymoor Town to the i2i stadium in what will undoubtedly be an incredibly tough encounter with the pre-season intensity ramping up.

Albion come into the match on the back of a hard-fought 2-1 victory at Pickering Town on Wednesday night.

It was the substitutes that made the difference with Fatlum Ibrahimi and Marcel Chigumira coming off the bench to turn the score-line around.

Spennymoor also played the Pikes last week but found it a little easier after putting the ball in the back of the net nine times without reply.

Jason Ainsley has done an outstanding job with the Moors achieving back-to-back promotions getting them into the National League North which will see them face off with the likes of Stockport County, Salford City and York City on a weekly basis.

The two sides met at the i2i in pre-season last year which resulted in a goalless draw and it will be another good tough test today.

Team News: Taddy are without Josh Grant, Tom Corner, Jake Ellam and Aiden Savory but Aaron Hardy returns along with Pete Davidson who is in-line to make his debut. Conor Sellars and Michael Ingham will return, Joel Dixon may be fit enough to be back on the bench.

Enjoy the game!
