PREVIEW: AFC Sudbury v Aveley

AFC Sudbury return to league action on Saturday as they host Aveley at the Wardale-Williams Stadium.

Sudbury beat St Neots Town in the FA Trophy on Tuesday night, to progress through into the First Round Proper, after a 1-1 draw in the original tie last weekend.

AFC goalkeeper Marcus Garnham won the Ryman League's Golden Gloves award for November, where he produced a number of excellent saves, and conceded only four goals during the club's seven games that month. Garnham is expected to retain his place for the match.

Tyler Kemp will also be available for the hosts, after returning from his loan spell at Haverhill Rovers. Batch will be without Baker (hamstring) and Newby (hamstring and suspension).

The Yellows sit in sixth position, with goal difference preventing them from sitting higher in the table. The Millers, who beat Chelmsford City 3-2 midweek in the Essex Senior Cup, sit in eighth in the Ryman North table.

A reminder that home supporters can use the supporters coach ran by the AFC Sudbury Supporters Club to travel to tomorrow's match, while fans who arrive early can watch the football in AFC's clubhouse.

AFC Sudbury Reserves travel to Debenham LC in the Thurlow Nunn First Division, on the back of a 5-1 victory over Braintree Town Reserves in the cup last Saturday. The side have been drawn at home to Haverhill Borough in the semi-finals of the First Division Cup (Tue 24 Feb, 7.45pm).

The two sides last met at the Mill Field in August, as 10-men Sudbury were defeated 3-0 to Aveley.

Louis Byers will be reporting at the Wardale-Williams Stadium from 2pm.
