Struggling Carlton Town will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Morpeth Town in the upcoming league round. It’s 18th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Non League Div One: Northern South match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Sheffield, so at least Carlton Town are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
