Carling expecting Horden to pose a big threat in cup
Sunderland Echo
|August 15, 2025
Bishop Auckland manager Leon Carling has warned his side of the threat they will face when they host Horden CW in the FA Cup preliminary round on Saturday.
The Marras marked their return to the competition in some style with a 2-1 win at Northern Premier League newcomers Blyth Town earlier this month - and their reward is a visit to another step four club as they visit the Two-Blues this weekend.
Carling's men have been widely tipped to impress in the NPL East Division and remain unbeaten in their four competitive fixtures during the opening fortnight of the campaign.
