AFC Sudbury v Cambridge City
Isthmian League North Division
The Elite Travel Stadium, Brundon Lane, Sudbury CO10 7HN
KO: 15.00
We round this bank holiday weekend off with a visit to The Elite Travel Stadium from Cambridge City in the Isthmian League North Division.
Having found the winning formula on Saturday with that 3-1 triumph over Lowestoft Town in the FA Trophy, the boys will be keen to make-up for our FA Cup exit at the hands of todays visitors just over a week ago!
We remained competitive for much of that game – George Chenery equalising with a fine header from a Kaidon Tower-King corner, so expect another tight contest. Goals from set pieces are being a bit of a speciality for the Suds; Kyran Clements at Concord Rangers and Jordan Barnett, with our first on Saturday, both from corners.
Saturdays victory was confirmed with a fine team goal on 88 minutes from Reuben Chinnery. Scott Sloots latching onto a long clearance from Finley Iron, headed the ball onto Tom Maycock on the left wing, who put in a deliciously inviting pass for Reuben to finish with style. 3-1. And the Yellows progress into the next round of the FA Trophy.
There will be a minutes applause before kick-off in memory of long-time AFC Sudbury supporter and season-ticket holder Ian Baldwin, who recently passed away aged 67.

Cambridge City Trivia: Originally formed in 1908 as Cambridge Town, they became Cambridge City courtesy of a first class stamp! When Cambridge was granted City status in 1951, both Cambridge Town and Abbey United applied to the FA for name change to Cambridge City. The Town secretary sent his application off using a first class stamp and it arrived at the FA before the Abbey United application which was sent with a 2nd class stamp! Abbey United became Cambridge United…
