Morpeth Town announce preseason friendly against Hebburn Town at Craik Park

Morpeth Town have confirmed that they will host Hebburn Town in a preseason friendly at Craik Park this summer.

The Highwaymen are preparing for life in the Northern Premier League East division following their relegation from the top flight this term, and will ramp up their efforts with a 2pm kick-off on home soil on Saturday, July 18th.

For their part, Hebburn were crowned Northern Premier League champions this season, and are now gearing up for life in the National League North. Despite the disparity in the two sides’ fortunes, both of Morpeth’s recent clashes with the Hornets were tight affairs. Craig Lynch’s men secured a 1-1 draw against their visitors back in September, before losing 2-1 in the reverse fixture at the Trustmark Group Stadium in mid-December.

Tickets for July’s friendly between Morpeth and Hebburn will be available to purchase on the gate on the day, with cash and card accepted.
