Redcar Athletic go into the long-awaited derby clash as outright favourites, hitting EIGHT at the weekend against Carlisle City.

Marske were much less fortunate, forced to settle for a draw against the ten-men of West Auckland Town, albeit overturning a two-goal deficit.

Whilst form favours the home side, Bradley Fewster admitted the Seasiders would be far from a push-over, especially given the local rivalry between the two.

“They’ll be hard to beat, Marske.” He said. “Just as they were at their place on Boxing Day.”

“It’s on us at home to play as well as we have been, and to take our game to them.

“I want it to feel like a big occasion, but it’s simply three points that we’re after, and that’s all that matters by end of the night.”

A big part of that task will come from the terraces.

Bradley Fewster argued the fans have a key role in building an atmosphere, and may even decide the outcome of a match so delicately poised following a goalless draw in December.”

“The fans will be important to get a good atmosphere going.” He said.

“It’s a big game for the local area, and for our season, so the support will be appriciated.”
