Match Preview

Sutton finally get their league season up and running this Saturday with a trip away to Spalding. Last season the Royals earnt a draw, so will be looking to go one better this season. It will be a stern test however, especially with many of the first team players out through suspensions and injuries.

The Royals were bitterly disappointed to miss out on a potential cup run last weekend but now have the league to focus on.

Spalding are based in Lincolnshire and were formed in 1921. They are nicknamed the Tulips and play at the Sir Halley Stewart Field. Their honours include United Counties League Premier Division Champions in season 13-14, and League Cup winners in 94-95.

Spalding will be playing in their blue and white strip, so the Royals will be in their away strip of green and black.

It will be an interesting game from two evenly matched sides, and the Tulips will potentially be fielding two new signings from Grimsby who will be ones to watch.

Here’s to an entertaining and successful game.

COME ON YOU ROYALS.
