AI match recap
Halifax have home advantage, recent positive momentum and the division above South Shields, making this a serious opportunity to progress at The Shay. South Shields arrive with an eye-catching early defensive record and enough attacking output to make a cup upset realistic if they survive the opening pressure. The key battle is whether Halifax can establish control in central areas before the visitors find transition opportunities. With no reported absences, team selection and the first wave of pressing should define the tie.
