HUCKNALL BEGIN THE NEW SEASON AT HOME

HUCKNALL TOWN V LUTTERWORTH ATHLETIC 

UNITED COUNTIES LEAGUE DIVISION ONE

SATURDAY AUGUST 7TH 2021 3 PM KO

MATCH PREVIEW

Hucknall begin their journey of United Counties League football with a home fixture against Lutterworth Athletic. I confess I know very little about them except we apparently played them in a pre season game a couple of years ago. With the 2 defunct seasons it is very difficult to check on any recent standings/games etc. Managed by joint managers Ross Blockley and Mitch Bevins (any relation Andrew) they have a squad of 23 to pick from.

Their last pre season game was a 2 1 victory against Northampton O N Chenecks (try saying that when you've had a few) with two goals from Kyran Taylor so maybe he could be one to watch as he also scored in a 4 1 win over Long Buckby. Charlie Adcock could be another as he to has been amongst the goals in pre season. 

Lutterworth begin their campaign with 5 away fixtures due to ongoing work on their Hall Lane pitch and will be looking to do well in these fixtures to set themselves up for a good season ahead.

Hucknall will be looking to consolidate their fine home form over the last few seasons. The Yellows will be without Grant Ryan through suspension, Joe Ashurst on his motorbike sabbatical and Joe Butler recovering from injury but with the addition of new signing Craig Westcarr should field a strong side.

Liam Hearn has played for the Yellows in pre season but I'm making no predictions on an appearance tomorrow. 

Hucknall will be looking for a winning start against an unknown entity who will be looking for the three points themselves.

Unfortunately I am working tomorrow and will miss the game but safe travels to all from Lutterworth to what should be an enjoyable game.
