Match Preview - Ebac Northern League Division 2 - Saturday 8th August 2026 - Newcastle University (A) - Kick-off 15:00pm

It's trip into South Northumberland and right on the River Tyne for unbeaten Park View AFC on Saturday. They travel to Essity Park to take on Newcastle University in another tough looking League encounter.

Park View's 1 - 1 draw at Seaham Red Star on Tuesday night in the cold light of the next day was a good result. But being 1 - 0 up with twenty seconds or so left to play made it almost feel like a defeat rather than a well earned point.

It means Park View sit in 6th place in the Table after four games. Two wins and two draws. Nine goals scored and five conceded for eight points. Niall Armstrong and Charlie Loveday with three goals apiece.

Their opponents Newcastle University have won two and lost two. They have scored four goals and conceded five giving them six points currently putting them tenth in the standings. James Cleugh has two of their four goals.

Their two defeats were at home to Seaton Carew 2 - 0 and on the road 3 - 1 at AFC Newbiggin. They did win 1 - 0 against Stokesley on opening day and last time out they had an excellent 2 - 1 win at Ryton & Crawcrook Albion.

The corresponding fixture last season saw a hard-fought 1 - 1 draw with a Stephen Siyanbola goal being cancelled out by an Adam Redford equaliser. Park View though did take a 2 - 0 home win against The Uni in March of this year.

Games between these two sides that both like to get the ball down and play football are always close and usually played in the right spirit. Kick-off at Essity Park on Saturday for another interesting encounter is at 3:00pm.
