They will be hoping for a repeat of their trip at this time of year in 2018, where they won 2-1. Callum Robinson was the man to score both goals, although Alan Browne did see his header nodded over the line by the winger.
North End had to win the points the hard way, going behind thanks to Matt Smith’s goal after 13 minutes but their no.37 netted on the stroke of half time and midway through the second half to make sure maximum points returned with them to the North West.
