Stamford v AFC Sudbury
Southern League Premier Central Division
The Zeeco Stadium, Borderville Sports Centre, Ryhall Rd, Stamford PE9 1US
KO: 7.45pm.
We travel to the Zeeco Stadium this evening for the third time this season – let’s hope that its third time lucky and the game isn’t postponed!
Tonight’s encounter is a classic bottom of the table 6-pointer. Stamford come into the game fresh from a 1-0 victory at Worcester City. That said, and despite our recent home defeats at the hands of teams amongst the title favourites, we are undefeated since mid-October on the road.
We also go into the game with our strike-force strengthened by the addition of new signing Theo Hudson joining hot-shot Kien Connolly up front.
Come on you Yellows!
