Newcastle Benfield Await

Whickham travel to Newcastle Benfield on Wednesday night as we look to continue our great league form in 2023.

Two wins and a draw so far this year have shown a step up in performance from Lee Haldane’s side.

The hosts welcome us whilst not being in the best of form.

Benfield are without a win in their last five fixtures and have won just four matches at home in the league this season.

The Lions won 3-1 back in August when they visited The Glebe with Ben Dibb-Fuller, brother of Whickham winger Sam, on the scoresheet.

Whickham arrive after a 4-1 rout over Heaton Stannington on Friday night, one of the performances of the season which was lead by Nathan Greenwood’s hat trick. 

Although teams have played a different number of games to others, the Lang Jacks possess the second best defense in the league behind Ashington, with only 28 goals going past Nathan Harker so far.
