This Saturday the 1xv welcome Seaham to Preston Playing Fields. Last season Shields came out on top (just) in both games winning the last game of the season against them at home by 1 point in the last 5 mins. Always a very combative game against a well drilled team with a mean defence. In preseason Seaham have narrowly lost away to Bishop Auckland from DN1, which shows a big improvement, whilst Shields narrowly lost to Ashington of DN2 and beat Jarrovians of DN3.
