Match Preview

This Bank Holiday we welcome local rivals Coleshill Town in this Northern Premier League fixture. Coleshill Town are from Coleshill in Warwickshire and were founded in 1894, although their first ever recorded game was in November 1885 against Acocks Green. They were awarded a certificate by the FA in 1994 for recognition of 100 years in the Football Association, although matches prior to this were either friendly or challenge matches.

Coleshill Town FC play at the Pack Meadow Stadium, a stadium which holds 2070 supporters. Coleshill have had a few nicknames in the past, but most recently it’s ‘The Colemen’ or ‘The Colts'. Their home kit is a white and blue shirt, blue shorts and blue socks, and their away kit is all red, red shirt, shorts and socks.

Coleshill have made a mixed start to their campaign, losing 2 of their opening 4 league games. On Saturday they managed to get a draw, 1-1 against Spalding. They now sit 13th in the league, 4 places below The Royals.

Sutton rectified their losing streak on Saturday, and will be keen to put Coleshill to the sword and make it a fantastic Bank Holiday weekend double.

Last season we managed a 2-1 win away but lost 1-0 at home.

Sutton will be hoping for a better result at home this time round, but with Coleshill Town, the Royal’s know this fixture will always be tough.

Please, let’s get as many fans down to Coles Lane as possible to cheer the lads onto three points.

The atmosphere at home will definitely lift the lads onto a good performance and three points hopefully.

COME ON YOU ROYALS.
