Match Preview

For the Preliminary Round of the Emirates FA Cup our visitors will be Gresley Football Club who were only formed in 2009. This was following the sad demise of their former club Gresley Rovers.

The village of Gresley is located in South Derbyshire, and the team play in a red and white kit, the colours of which are taken from the Coat of Arms from their original badge. The Gresley family were the Lords of the Manor, and can be traced back to the 12th Century.

Gresley F.C. Are currently in the Evo-Stick NPL East league, and will be tough opposition for us to overcome in this fantastic cup competition. This is the first time we have played Gresley since the 2014/15 season when we drew 0 – 0 away and won 2 – 0 at home. Let's hope we can repeat our home result from 2014/15 and progress to the next round of the cup.

COME ON YOU ROYALS !
