Match Preview

Its another league game this Saturday, and after the last couple of wins in the league we are starting to move in the right direction, so the Royals will be keen to keep the winning streak going.

It’s old foes Ilkeston this week who are playing well at present, and so will be a tough test for Sutton as they are at the right end of the table, and have won seven games so far and lie in sixth place.

Ilkeston are based in Derbyshire and were founded in 2017; they play at the New Manor ground which holds 3029 people. Ilkeston FC, as the club used to be known, folded in 2017 before being bought by Alan Hardy. They were reinvented and became Ilkeston Town, so technically, they are a club Sutton have not played before.

The last time Sutton played Ilkeston it was in their previous form, and we won 1-0 but that was in the 16/17 season. At present, they look a much stronger side than then and will prove a very stern test for Sutton.

We hope as many of you can join the team at Ilkeston to cheer the lads on to three points.

Come on you Royals.
