Northern Premier week 8 Fixtures.

Week 8 fixtures:-

Alnwick vs Carlisle

Billingham vs Kirkby Lonsdale

Blackburn vs Macclesfield

Blaydon vs Sandal

Lymm vs Morpeth

Rossendale vs Ilkley

Wirral vs Harrogate


Let's have a peek and see if I can offer a few pointers(with my record, maybe not!)

Alnwick is a difficult place to get a result but they have a few struggles at the moment, Carlisle will be buoyed by their recent win , so I'm going AW.
Billingham should be more than capable of beating Kirkby Lonsdale, going HW.
Blackburn vs Macclesfield would seem to be a contrast of styles, Macclesfield big winners at Sandal last time should overcome Blackburn who have been a bit inconsistent.
Blaydon have only lost once but had to battle to beat Lymm last time out, HW for me.
Lymm v Morpeth could go either way, Morpeth had a slow start but getting used to this level now , might just see an AW here.
Rossendale vs Ilkley , something got to give here , both looking to arrest a losing streak, Rossendale to record the win.
Wirral vs Harrogate, cant see a rampant 'Gate slipping up so should still be undefeated after this.

This weeks UNBANKABLE will be Billingham vs Kirkby Lonsdale (could have picked any of the others, tbh)

Good luck as always
