Hucknall face old foes Gedling

 HUCKNALL TOWN V GEDLING MWFC

UCL DIV 1 WEDS 1ST SEPT 21 19.45 KO

MATCH PREVIEW

Hucknall return to action at Watnall Road tonight when old foes Gedling MWFC make the short trip across Nottingham. Hucknall have probably faced Gedling more times in recent years than anyone else both in league and cup competitions. Indeed we face the same opposition a week on Saturday in the FA Vase.

Our visitors Gedling had an opening day win at fast improving Saffron Dynamo thanks to a Courtney Hastings Hat trick and all seemed rosy. 

But then came a run of three defeats. A 4 1 away defeat at now table toppers Kimberley was followed by a 6 nil defeat at Hinckley. A home defeat to Barrow Town followed.

Gedling though bounced back well at the weekend with a fine 5 2 defeat of Birstall United at Gedling Road where former Hucknall players Felix Hogg and Ruben Wiggins-Thomas scored goals. 

Gedling have proved to be a thorn in the side of the Yellows recently and Hucknall will be looking to put this right. Having won Saturday at Barrow Hucknall will see the next two games as hopefully a spring board to get in amongst the teams at the top. Joe Butler had twenty minutes on his return Saturday which will be a boost to the squad. 

Results last night mean that everyone has lost at least once and both ourselves and our visitors will be looking to progress up the table.

Safe travels everyone
