Sutton have been in a rich vein of form at present only just loosing out to Boston last weekend after putting together a little run. We go again this Saturday in the FA Trophy this time against a team who we played twice last year. We won 3-1 at home earlier in the year against them so we will feel confident of a repeat performance this time round. Yaxley will be in beyond mood also as they have won their last two games , but as we all know form can go out the window when it comes to the cup.

The FA Trophy is a knockout cup competed by semi-professional teams. The competition was instigated in 1969 to cater for those non-league clubs that paid their players and were not eligible to enter the FA Amateur cup.

The current champions are Fylde and it has been won the most times by Scarborough, Woking and Telford each winning it three times.
