Leaders of the Northern Premier League, Redcar Athletic, take on 14th-place Ossett United at Green Lane Park tomorrow (March 14).
As the leaders remain unbeaten in 2026, they aim to take a step closer to clinching the league, facing Ossett United, who sit mid-table.
They will travel to Green Lane Park with a record of one win in five games. In the reverse fixture, Redcar Athletic won 6-0 away at Ossett, as they hope to repeat it on home ground.
The Steelmen continue to be lethal in front of goal, as they top the league with 118 goals.
Redcar Athletic Manager Carl Jarrett said: “Every win in this league is important, and Wednesday was a good example of the different types of games you have to manage.
“It wasn’t as open as the Ashington match, but the lads showed discipline and determination to grind out a result.
“Coming back home, the aim is always to build momentum, especially during a busy month like March.
“Confidence grows when you put runs together, particularly in front of your own supporters.
“The message to the players is simple. Keep standards high, keep working hard, and focus fully on the next game.”
The manager was asked about any changes in preparation after Ossett’s away win.
He said: “It doesn’t change the preparation too much, but it does highlight how competitive this league is.
“As we approach the end of the season, every team is going to be fighting for every win, and we are going to have to be ready for that.
“We always respect the opposition and do our homework, but the main focus is on what we do well.
“If we approach the match with the same intensity, organisation, and attitude we’ve shown recently, we’ll give ourselves a strong chance.”
