After a disappointing result last weekend against Quorn, and with the lads putting in a great performance despite conceding two late goals, they will be keen to get back to winning ways against local neighbours Boldmere St Michaels who always seem to be a thorn in Sutton’s side.
Boldmere have had a similar start to the campaign as Sutton have, with 7 wins from 21 games in the league, and currently sit in 9th spot. They have secured wins against Rugby and Racing Club Warwick in recent weeks, so they can beat anyone in this league.
Sutton have 9 wins in 22 games, and sit just above in 8th spot, with good wins against Anstey and Bedworth recently.
Boldmere St Michaels are a football club based in Boldmere. They play at Trevor Brown Memorial ground, a ground which was named after their former chairman. The ground currently has a capacity of 2500 of which 230 are seated. They are nicknamed the Mikes and were founded in 1883 as a youth football team attached to the local church bible class. They played other local church teams in friendlies until 1912, when they entered their first football league.
They play in home shirts of white and black with black shorts and black and white socks.
We played Boldmere last season with a hard-fought 1-0 win at the Memorial Ground, but in the reverse fixture Sutton lost 2-1 at home.
Both sides are very similar on paper, but in a one-off game we all know that means nothing.
Sutton will need to bring their A game to beat this very successful outfit. Can Sutton do it, or will it be a similar story? One thing’s for sure, they will need the backing of the Ultras to get to the points in the bag.
So come on down and cheer the lads on to success over our neighbours.
