It is 2nd Round Durham County FA 'Frank Pattison' Challenge Cup action. A tough task for the youngsters of Park View but one they will approach with excitement and are looking forward to with relish.

It will also be PV's first senior domestic outing since they defeated Sunderland RCA 2 - 1 in the Ebac Northern League Division 2 back on Saturday 10th October. The bulk of the squad and coaching staff returning from China just last week.

They face a Hornets side that won the Northern Premier League last season to elevate them to the 24-team higher Division. Daniel Moore's side have made a solid start to life at this level and currently sit 14th in the standings.

They have won five drawn five and lost four of their league fixtures scoring 19 goals and conceding 24 for 20 points. Current form sees them having won one drawn three and lost two in their last six games.

Top league goal scorer is Jake David Charles with six and Josh Donaldson has three. Donaldson also has four in the DCC Cup after his goals helped his side to a 4 - 2 win over Crook Town to earn them a home tie against Park View.

They reached this stage of Durham's most prestigious cup competiton by defeating Sunderland West End 6 - 0 in the qualifying round and following that up with an excellent 3 - 1 away win at Darlington Town.

However since they last played top scorer Charlie Loveday who had 12 goals in all competitions including 3 in the DCC Cup has left the Club and signed for Northern League Division 1 Bishop Auckland.

Niall Armstrong who has 7 goals this season including 2 in the DCC Cup faces a late fitness test to see if he can play but Nathan Conroy who has 6 goals in all competitions should be available to lead the line.

Hebburn Town have averaged 795 in attendance at their home games thus far this season. The crowd on Tuesday is not expected to be as many but should still be a healthy one for the much-anticipated 7:45pm kick-off.
