Halifax - Tamworth
Last updated: Today, at Halifax and Tamworth search for first win at The Shay Stadium
FC Halifax Town forward Jamie Cooke faces a critical test as his side welcomes Tamworth to The Shay Stadium on 22 August 2026 for this National League matchday 3 encounter. Halifax have endured a difficult start to the campaign, suffering consecutive defeats against Forest Green Rovers and Boreham Wood. The hosts will be eager to tighten their defensive structure after conceding three goals in each of their opening fixtures, aiming to find the consistency that saw them secure a 2-0 victory over Tamworth in December 2025.
Tamworth arrive seeking their own breakthrough following a challenging opening fortnight. After an entertaining 3-3 draw against Boreham Wood, they were edged out by AFC Fylde in their most recent outing. With their last meeting ending in a 2-2 stalemate back in April 2026, both sides know this contest could prove pivotal for momentum. Expect a tactical battle as the visitors attempt to exploit any lingering vulnerabilities in the Halifax backline.
