This weekend, Wallsend RFC will be looking to build on their newfound momentum as they face Newton Aycliffe RUFC in Matchday 4 of the Counties 3 Durham & Northumberland 2024/25 season. After a tough start to the campaign, Wallsend currently sit 6th in the table, but their spirits are high following a crucial first win of the season against Winlaton Vulcans. The 24-22 victory was a much-needed boost for the team, giving them confidence ahead of this weekend's clash.

On the other side, Newton Aycliffe find themselves rooted to the bottom of the standings, having failed to pick up a point in the opening three matches.

For Wallsend, the keen to pick up their first win on the road and keep the momentum rolling. Standout performances last week, particularly in the forward pack, have given the team a platform to build on, and they will be eager to put in another solid display away from home.

Newton Aycliffe, despite their struggles, can't be underestimated. They’ll be desperate to get off the mark and will likely come out fighting, looking to disrupt Wallsend’s rhythm early on.

With both sides hungry for points, this is shaping up to be a fascinating encounter. Can Wallsend string together back-to-back wins and continue their climb up the table, or will Newton Aycliffe spring a surprise and claim their first victory of the season?

Kick-off is set for 3pm on Saturday at Newton Aycliffe. Fans can expect a hard-fought battle as both teams look to make a statement in this early part of the season.
