Seaham Red Star are wondering which Durham City team will turn up and play them this afternoon in their local derby in the FA Vase second round.

Peter Mulcaster, manager of the last ANL Second Division team in the competition, said: "I saw them lose at Gateshead in the Durham Challenge Cup, and we have to be wary of the backlash.

"I saw two Durhams play on Monday night. They were good in the first half, and bad in the second, and knowing Billy Cruddas their manager, he'll be wanting to put it right."

Midfielder Andy Howarth returns for Seaham, but David Johnson and Anth Laidler are both missing.
