Yellows hope for Vase Victory to Kick start Their Season

 SANDIACRE TOWN V HUCKNALL TOWN

FA VASE FIRST QUALIFYING ROUND

SAT 26TH AUGUST 2023 3 PM KO

MATCH PREVIEW

After a 10 day rest Hucknall return to action hoping to kick start their season with a much needed victory against UCL Div 1 rivals and newly promoted Sandiacre Town at Stanton Lane.

Arguably The Yellows will be favourites to win a game for the first time this season but no doubt the home side will fancy their chances on their own patch and be up for this game.

Sandiacre were promoted from the Notts Senior League last season  even though they finished third in the Premier division behind Keyworth and the champions close neighbours Stapleford Town with both teams either not wanting promotion or other issues preventing it.

Sandiacre's  League record last season reads

Played 32 winning 21 drawing 4 and losing 7with a GD of plus 27

So far this season in the UCL div 1 

played 4 won 1 lost 3 with a GD of minus 7

The win came at home to Rainworth MWFC 2 nil and the defeats have come against Lutterworth Athletic (home 1 3) Birstall (away 2 1) and Kirby Muxloe (home 1 7)

Sandiacre have a player we are very familiar with, the hugely popular Cayne Maxwell who left the Yellows last season after many years playing for the club. He will surely be looking forward to this game and I'm sure he will get a warm reception from the travelling Yellows fans.

Hucknall's poor start to the season has been well documented but even in the defeats against Boston and Sherwood signs were there that things are on the up.

Should be a good game. If the game is level at the end of 90mins then 30 mins extra time is played and then if need be by a penalty shoot out. There will be no replay.
