Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Kendal Town & Brighouse Town face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Fa Trophy. All the pre-match information is available here!
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Kendal Town form and stats
Kendal participated in Fa Trophy the last season, where they reached the preliminary round.Prior to that, an away loss at Trafford in the Non League Div One: Northern North.
The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Ramsbottom United in only three days.
Brighouse Town form and stats
Brighouse's mission in Fa Trophy last season failed in the preliminary round.Brighouse has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Brighouse might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Dunston proved too strong as Brighouse Town slumped to a 3-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Dual Seal Stadium. Preceding that, the 2-5 home loss versus City of Liverpool.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Dunston was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
Brighouse has another fixture away, a Non League Div One: Northern North game, against Pickering Town CFC in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
It's a day of discovery for Brighouse as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Brighouse Town have played two with the results W1-D1-L0 (win-draw-lost). In these games Brighouse Town has scored 3 goals and conceded 2 times.
