An interesting first home fixture this season. South Shields were promoted from the Northern Premier League after finishing top with 85 points - 8 points clear of runners up Warrington Town. They've started with a convincing 3-1 win against Alfreton Town. So it's going to be a tough one.
I'm going for:
Boston United 2-2 South Shields (1650)
P.S. The last time Boston United played South Shields at home in a league game was on Wednesday 22nd August 1973. Boston won 4-1 in front of 1850 - including me. Boston goals were by Howard Wilkinson, Alan Tewley,, Jim Conde and an o.g. Boston went on to win the Northern Premier League ahead of Wigan Athletic and Altrincham.
