Match Preview

After a great couple of results in the league, it’s time to turn the attention to the biggest cup competition in non-league, the FA Trophy. We start this campaign off at home to local rivals Boldmere St Michael.

Boldmere have had a similar start to the campaign as Sutton have, with just 2 wins from 5 games in the league, and currently sitting in 12th spot. They did secure wins against Loughborough Dynamo, and a very good win against table toppers Sporting Khalsa.
Sutton also have 2 wins against Coventry Sphinx and Coleshill Town, and sit just behind on goal difference in 15th spot.

Boldmere St Michaels are a football club based in Boldmere. They play at Trevor Brown Memorial ground, a ground which was named after their former chairman. The ground currently has a capacity of 2500 of which 230 are seated. They are nicknamed the Mikes and were founded in 1883 as a youth football team attached to the local church bible class. They played other local church teams in friendlies until 1912, when they entered their first football league.

They play in home shirts of white and black with black shorts and black and white socks.

The last time these two sides met at Coles Lane was back in August 22, where Boldmere won 2-1. We also played at Boldmere and lost 3-0. In fact, Sutton have struggled against Boldmere for some time, so a positive result is long overdue.

Both sides are very similar on paper, but in a one-off game we all know that means nothing.
Sutton will need to bring their A game to beat this very successful outfit, can Sutton do it or will it be a similar story? One thing’s for sure, they will need the backing of the Ultras to get to the next round.

So come on down and cheer the lads on to a successful cup campaign.
