HUCKNALL ON THE ROAD AGAIN AFTER HOME POSTPONEMENTS

 WISBECH TOWN V HUCKNALL TOWN 

GCE HIRE FLEET UCL PREMIER NORTH

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 22ND 2025 15.00 KO

MATCH PREVIEW

Hucknall Town are back on the road this weekend after having two home games postponed because of the adverse weather. The Yellows earned a very hard fought for point in their last outing at Skegness a fortnight ago and travel to Wisbech hoping to continue their excellent away form.

Wisbech lie in 10th place in the league with a record of:

Played 17 winning 7 drawing 2 and losing 8 with a GD of minus 7

Their season began with a 3 nil away defeat at Clay Cross but this was followed by 2 impressive home wins over teams currently in the top 5. A 2 1 win over the current leaders Boston Town was followed up by a 4 3 win over Kimberley MWFC. A 1 1 draw followed away to another top five side Grantham followed by a 2 1 home win against Harrowby. This put the Fenmen amongst the early season front runners. Skegness Town delivered their first home league defeat by winning 2 1 at the Fenland Stadium.

Wisbech responded by beating Newark & Sherwood 2 nil at home and Melton Town at home by the same scoreline.

Wisbech then travelled to Boston Town where the home team gained revenge for their early season defeat by inflicting a 7 2 defeat on the Fenmen.

Three more league defeats followed, Sherwood (away 0 1)Blackstones (home 2 3) and Ashby Ivanhoe (away 1 3).

An excellent 1 nil win at Grantham put an end to the run of defeats but 2 more followed, Skegness completing the double by winning 2 0 at home and Newark Town winning 3 2 at Wisbech. A decent 2 1 victory at AFC Mansfield was followed up with a goal less draw at Newark Town in their last game also a fortnight ago.

In the Cups:

FA Cup Lost 3 2 away at Haverhill Rovers

FA Vase Beat Woodbridge Town 3 1 at home, Harleston Town 2 1 away before losing 6 1 at home to Harpenden Town 

League Knock Out Cup. Lost 3 0 at home to Newark Town

Hucknall go into the game with a league record that reads

Played 18 winning 8 drawing 3 and losing 7 with a GD of plus 7

Despite not playing for the last 2 weeks the Yellows remain in 6th spot. Going into this game Hucknall have signed 2 players, John-Paul McHugh (midfield) and Dylan Reason (forward) who both have an excellent pedigree. We wish them both a warm welcome to the Yellows.

Safe travels to all going to Wisbech for what should be a competitive game.

HUCKNALL HOPING FOR POINTS BY THE SEASIDE

 SKEGNESS TOWN V HUCKNALL TOWN

GCE HIRE FLEET UCL PREMIER NORTH

SATURDAY 8TH NOVEMBER 2025 15.00 KO

MATCH PREVIEW

Hucknall travel to Skegness Town this Saturday hoping to maintain their fine away form. The Yellows have lost just once away in the league so far this season, a 3 2 reverse at Newark Town. This is in stark contrast to their home form and such is the nature of the UCL fixture list Skegness will be the next league visitors to the RM next week.

Skegness are exactly the reverse being strong at home but far from it away.

The Lily Whites record so far this season reads:

played 16 winning 6 drawing 3 and losing 7 with a GD of minus 6

Their season began with a 5 3 home defeat against Newark Town. This was followed by a 2 1 victory at Blackstones on the following Tuesday who had beaten the Yellows on opening day.

A 3 2 defeat at Gresley followed and then a home 4 2 win at home to Harrowby.

Their first draw was a 1 1 at home to Eastwood. A 2 1 win at Wisbech was followed by another 1 1 draw at Deeping Rangers. Two home games followed, a 2 nil win against Newark & Sherwood and a 2 2 draw versus Grantham. Up to that point the away form was okay but four away defeats have followed, a 4 0 defeat at Clay Cross, 3 1 at Melton, 4 2 at AFC Mansfield and 4 0 at Ashby on their last outing.

They also suffered a 2 1 home reverse v Deeping Rangers before a 3 1 win against Blackstones and a 2 nil win against Wisbech steadied the ship.

All of this places Skegness in 12th spot on 21 points five behind Hucknall but having played a game less.

In the cups the Lily Whites haven't done so well despite an exceptional result in beating Lincoln United 2 1 in an FA Cup replay at Lincoln after the two sides had played out a 1 1 draw at Skegness. This had followed  a 2 0 home win in the previous round at home to Godmanchester Rovers. Skegness went out in the next round losing 5 0 at Redditch United. 

The FA Vase saw them surprisingly beaten 2 1 at home to GNG Oadby Town FC.

The League cup saw another home defeat 3 2 at home to Hucknall's old rivals Pinxton from Division 1.

The Lincolnshire Senior Trophy saw them lose 4 3 on penalties after a 1 1 draw at Louth Town.

Hucknall go into the game after another home league defeat last weekend which saw them drop out of the play off places into 6th spot but all of the top five have played fewer games.

Hucknall's record now reads

Played 17 winning 8 drawing 2 and losing 7 with a GD of plus 7.

Should be a good battle with decent home form coming up against decent away form.

Safe travels to all associated with Hucknall Town of which I will be one.

YELLOWS LOSE AGAIN AT THE RM AS BELPER ARE SPOT ON

 HUCKNALL TOWN 0 BELPER UNITED 1

GCE HIRE FLEET UCL PREMIER NORTH

SATURDAY 1ST NOVEMBER 2025 15.00 KO

MATCH REPORT

TEAMS:

HUCKNALL TOWN:         BELPER UNITED:

OFFICIALS:

Stuart Mallows, Michal Mrozek, Christopher Hughes

ATTENDANCE: 204

Hucknall were dealt their 6th home league defeat of the season as a 77th minute penalty for the visitors proved decisive.

Hucknall made one change from the starting eleven at Harrowby as Joe Ashurst replaced CJ Dunkley who dropped to the bench. 

Belper had ex Yellow Daniel Odunaiya in their starting eleven.

The first half was pretty much a non event with both teams defending well and the home faithful had to wait until the 37th minute for the first effort on goal. Aaron Coyle's well hit shot was well saved by Fryatt in the Belper goal but lower or higher the shot would have found the net. Belper came into the game more after that chance but Smith-Eccles wasn't troubled in the home goal though Dillon Rawson had to be alert to clear off the line on 42 minutes.

Half Time: Hucknall 0 Belper United 0

Two minutes after the restart Sugars wnt close from an Ashurst corner but it was just wide. That was pretty much the only highlight for the Yellows as Belper began to win the physical battles.

Changes were made on 62 minutes with Dunkley and Wells replacing Tefera and Lindo.

The game seemed to be heading for a stalemate as neither keeper was being troubled but Belper broke quickly down the right and Sugars in a desperate attempt to win the ball only succeeded in bringing the Belper player down in the area to give the visitors a penalty.

Smith-Eccles dived the right way but was beaten by the pace and placement of the penalty by Belper's player/manager Alex Steadman.

A further change was made by Hucknall on 81 minutes when Short replaced Simmons but despite plenty of effort by the Yellows the away goal remained unthreatened and Belper returned home with the points.

This was Belper's 4th league win on the bounce and they joined the yellows on 26 points but having played a game less. Hucknall dropped out of the play off spots to 6th but have played more games than any of the 5 teams above them. No midweek game for the Yellows with a visit to Skegness waiting next Saturday where Hucknall will be looking to maintain their fine away form. Quite why the home form is so disappointing is open to debate but surely needs to improve if a play off push is to be maintained.

Taylor Jaine was awarded the Man of the Match and Cash Rowe the Player of the Month for October.
