Real Bedford v AFC Sudbury
Southern League Premier Central Division
Ledger Stadium, McMullen Park, Meadow Lane, Bedford MK44 3LW
KO: 3.00pm.

If the rain holds off then we'll be up against Real Bedford for the second time this month. Since their victory at the Elite Travel Stadium back on the 13th January, they have defeated Barwell and Bromsgrove Sporting to move up into the play-off places. They have games-in-hand over their rivals at the top end of the table so remain one of the favourites to finish pushing for another promotion.
Although having been thwarted by the weather in the midweek, we head to Bedfordshire with 3 new signings since the last time we met The Pirates: Theo Hudson in attack with Finlay Oligbo (on-loan form Norwich City) and Harvey Peters (joining us from Lowestoft Town) adding extra weight to our defence.

Come on you Yellows!
