Match Preview - Ebac Northern League Division 2 - Wednesday 11th November 2026 - Billingham Town (H) - Kick Off 19:30pm

Park View AFC finally return home for the first time since the 26th September when they lost 2 - 0 to AFC Newbiggin. The face third placed Billingham Town in a tough looking challenge for PV who themselves are in fifth position.

A clash then between two play-off rivals although in the case of Billingham they still have their eyes on a run at the title having lead the division for a lot of the season.

Until last Saturday Town were top of the League. A 2 – 1 home defeat by Jarrow though saw Jarrow leap-frog them and with Boldon CA winning 2 – 1 at Tow Law, Billingham have dropped to third in the standings.

Their record though is still excellent. 18 games played 14 wins 2 draws and 2 defeats giving them 44 points and a game in hand on Jarrow in second place who are only a point ahead of them.

They have scored 48 goals in league play so far and have only conceded 15 an impressive record. Their top scorer is Dan Dryden who has 11 goals whilst Tai Saunders has 8. But they have threats right across the park.

For Park View a return to league action last Friday night saw them win comfortably 3 - 0 with two goals from skipper Ben Gallagher and a first NL goal for Isaac Anderson.

An excellent effort given that Park View are now without the services of both of their leading goal scorers Charlie Loveday and Niall Armstrong who have left the Club. Loveday has moved to Bishop Auckland, Armstrong to Darlington Town.

But Park View move on and their 10 wins 4 draws and 5 defeats with 34 goals scored and 25 conceded give them 34 points from their 19 games played. A record that has kept them in the play-off positions.

The form guide going into tonight’s game actually favours Park View who are fifth in the ratings over the last six games having won 4 drawn 1 and lost 1. Town are seventh with 4 wins and 2 defeats over the same number of games.

But statistics often mean little when it comes to what happens on the pitch. The game at The Riverside kicks-off at 7:30pm and is one that both teams are really looking to win to keep their progressive seasons so far going.
