PREVIEW: AFC Sudbury Res vs Dereham Town Res


AFC Sudbury Reserves return to Thurlow Nunn League action on Saturday, when they host Dereham Town's Reserves, at the Wardale-Williams Stadium

Date: Saturday 24th October 2015
Competition: Thurlow Nunn First Division
Kick-Off: 3pm
Location: Wardale-Williams Stadium, Sudbury

The Yellows have been out of league action for the past few weeks; a 3-2 home defeat to higher league side Long Melford in the League Cup, and a 3-2 win away at Capel Plough in the Suffolk Senior Cup last Saturday. Charlie Gilbert picked up three goals during those matches.

Gilbert will travel to Barkingside with the first team squad, along with goalkeeper Marcus Garnham, who has signed for AFC during the past few days, after departing Lowestoft Town.

Dereham Reserves travel into this weekend's fixture on the back of a 5-0 thumping at home to Wivenhoe Town, their heaviest defeat of the season. The Magpies have also exited, both, the League Cup, and First Division Cup, since August.

Last season's two meetings ended 3-1 to AFC.
