Match Preview

Following the high drama of last weekend, Sandbach make their first ever visit to Sheffield and their picturesque Abbeydale Park ground in Dore. Sheffield having gained promotion to the National Leagues in the 2014-15 season, level transferred to the Midlands League this summer and have been enjoying a successful time so far, having finished 6th in the North Division last season. Until last weekend Sheffield had topped the table, but came undone against the streetwise and physical Peterborough Lions at Bretton Woods. Following Sandbach’s last minute victory over Towcestrians, they find themselves just a place behind in 3rd position, so yet another close game is expected. Sandbach will however need to start a little better than the last couple of weeks, though the character of the team has shone through and if they can eradicate these errors, they will fancy their chances of causing an upset. Bus is arranged to be at Sandbach for 10.30 am and all support will be welcome, for a pleasant trip through the Peak District.
