Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Radcliffe Borough & Spennymoor Town face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Fa Trophy. All the pre-match information is available here!

There haven't been much to rest for the hosts, as they had a Non League Premier: Northern game only four days back. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Warrington Town.

Spennymoor Town form and stats

The traveling awayteam has defeated Chorley in order to reach 3rd round of Fa Trophy. Last season their Fa Trophy adventure ended in the 3rd round.

Spennymoor won their last game, 4-2 versus Chester played at home. As you can tell from the result, the match against Chester was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Gloucester City's place.

It's a day of discovery for Spennymoor Town 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 Spennymoor Town have played two with the results W0-D2-L0 (win-draw-lost). In these games Spennymoor has scored 4 goals and conceded 4 times.

Head 2 Head
