Our early kick-off sees two Reserve sides meet in a local derby, as the Reserve squad of Braintree visit Danny Laws' side.

AFC Sudbury Reserves will go into the match on the back of their draw at Downham Town on Saturday - Downham took a half-time 2-0 lead before Sudbury drew level with goals from Wayne Blackman and Joe Copping. The AFC team sit 7th on 46 points in the league.

Braintree Reserves were defeated 2-1 at Woodbridge, due to a last minute winner from the Suffolk side. The Iron sit 10th on 40 points with three games in hand.

The reverse fixture saw the Iron run out 2-0 winners at Stoneylands, back in September.



Bury Town vs AFC Sudbury
MATCH POSTPONED - REARRANGED DATE TBA
Location: Ram Meadow, Bury St Edmunds
Date: Monday 28th March 2016
Kick-off: 3pm

Our second match of the day will see Bury Town face AFC Sudbury in the A134 Derby, as both sides look to return to winning ways after defeats at the weekend.

The Yellows were defeated 2-0 at home to Waltham Abbey while Bury Town lost 2-1 away at Heybridge Swifts, both on Saturday.

AFC, top of the Ryman North by 11 points, take on the Blues side who sit 13th, who have just pride to play for in their first season back in the North division.

The reverse fixture back in January saw the hosts take a 2-0 win over Bury, goals from Luke Callander and Liam Wales.

Former Sudbury players Darcey De'ath, Ollie Canfer and Ollie Hughes are in the Bury squad today, while former Bury players Marcus Garnham, Danny Cunningham, Ross Bailey, Liam Wales and Joe Maybanks are part of the Sudbury team today.

Team News: Defender Stephano Mallardo, who was dismissed at Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Waltham Abbey, will be available today, with his suspension kicking in from next week. Sam Clarke and James Baker are both back after serving their three-match suspensions.

Spectators attending the match at Ram Meadow are being reminded that the Ram Meadow car park is a Pay-And-Display, and still charge for parking on Bank Holidays (today).
