Match Preview

This Bank Holiday we travel to local rivals Coleshill Town in this Northern Premier League fixture. Coleshill Town are from Coleshill in Warwickshire and were founded in 1894, although 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 an absolutely cracking start to their campaign, winning 13 of their opening 21 league games. On Saturday they succumbed to their sixth defeat of the season, losing 1-0 to Bedworth Utd. They now sit fifth in the league, 12 places above The Royals.

Sutton have struggled this season and sit in 17th position on 15 points, out of the bottom three on goal difference alone, but have had a new manager and a relatively new team since the last time we met.

Most recently, this was in August when The Royals lost 1-0 in a very close game.
Sutton will be hoping for better results this time round, but with Coleshill Town in this kind of form the Royal’s know this fixture will be tough.

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

The atmosphere last Saturday was immense, and definitely lifted the lads onto a good performance.

COME ON YOU ROYALS.
