Match Preview

Tomorrow welcome AFC Dunstable to Coles Lane in our return fixture in the Evo-Stik South Division 1 Central League.

AFC Dunstable are a football club who were founded in 1981. They based in Dunstable in Bedfordshire play at Creasey park and share a ground with Dunstable Town.

The club was first known as Old Dunstablians, which was named after a club for former pupils of Dunstable Grammar School The new club played at Manshead School, which had succeeded the grammar school and initially played in the Dunstable Alliance Football League, before joining the Luton District and South Bedfordshire League in 1983. In 1994 the club moved to Totternhoe, when Dunstable Town Cricket Club opened a new sports facility in the village. In 2004 the club changed their name to AFC Dunstable, although reference to the former name was retained in the club's nickname of the OD's.

The Club have played at Creasey Park in Dunstable since the 2009/10 season a grass pitch which is 100.5 x 64.5 metres. The stadium, which holds 3200, 350 of which are seated is now a stadium which AFC Dunstable groundshare with Dunstable Town. At home AFC Dunstable play in blue shirt, shorts and socks, and away in white shirt, shorts and socks.

Following our fantastic win last week against Barton, we come up against AFC Dunstable who are on a fantastic run of 8 games unbeaten.

Sutton, who need to put a run together of their own are now unbeaten in 2. Dunstable beat us 2-0 in the reverse fixture last year, and were fortunate to have a goalkeeper who had a worldy on the day, keeping all of the many chances that fell Suttons way.

Sutton picked up a few injuries last week but the lads worked hard in training midweek at the fitness academy to prepare for the final few games of the season.

The Royals are not out of the play- offs yet but will need to beat Dunstable today who are 2 places above them, and will be looking to get a vital win themselves.

Let’s hope storm Freya has done her worst and we have a great game today.

COME ON YOU ROYALS.
