The Hornets are scheduled to host Thornaby tomorrow in a Northern League Division Two clash – weather permitting.
Hebburn, like most other teams, have seen their schedule badly hit by the weather over the last couple of months and haven’t played since a 3-0 defeat at Ryhope on November 28.
Oliver will have almost a full squad to choose from tomorrow, and says he will need all of his players for a busy run-in.
“Thornaby will be a tough game – they are a good team and have just signed Sonny Andrews from promotion-chasing Billingham Synthonia, so that shows the club’s ambition.
