Match Preview

It’s been the best run of the season for The Royals, having two wins and a draw on the bounce. If it continues, it will push the team towards the play-offs and enable them to stop looking over their shoulder.

We travel to local rivals Sporting Khalsa who have had a mixed season so far, having fallen out of the play-off positions in the last few weeks. This is mainly due to a good cup run, which has meant they have only played 9 league games. But with only 1 point from the last 3 games, they will be determined to prevent themselves from falling further behind the front runners.

Sporting Khalsa are situated in the heart of the Black Country, in Willenhall, a suburb of Walsall.

They were formed in 1991 by the local Sikh Community, and they are the first British Asian club to own their own ground. The ground was purchased from Willenhall Town in 2010 after moving from Abbey Park, the former home of Bloxwich Town.

They are nicknamed the Lions, and currently play at Noose Lane in the Aspray Arena, and they play in a yellow and blue strip.
Sutton are in 14th place with 13 points after 11 games, and with 4 wins to their name so far this season. Sporting Khalsa are doing much better with 5 wins, and sit in 9th place on 16 points after 9 games played.

Sutton played Sporting Khalsa three times last season, losing 3-2 at Coles Lane, but winning away 3-1 in the cup, then losing 2-1 away in the league. Both sides have changed with new personnel for both teams, especially Sutton.

Hope to see you there to push The Royals to three points.
