Mouthwatering non-league derby perfect game for Boro fans looking for football fix

Guisborough Town will face Redcar Athletic at the KGV Stadium this Saturday in an FA Trophy third round qualifying tie. With Middlesbrough out of action during the international break, the local non-league derby presents an opportunity to draw significant crowds for two clubs coming off recent title-winning seasons.

Manager Nathan Haslam's Guisborough Town side is adjusting to life in the Northern Premier League Division One East, while Carl Jarrett's Redcar Athletic sits third in the Northern Premier League Premier Division. Guisborough director Chris Wood noted that the club also expects to spend £100,000 on ground improvements by March.
