Thurlow Nunn League Challenge Cup Round 1

Wednesday 7th August

Kick off 7.45pm

May & Baker vs NW London

It's the first round of the Thurlow Nunn League Challenge Up, as NWL travel to Dagenham to face May & Baker.

The tie will be played at Parsoles Park, the new home of May & Baker, after moving from Aveley FC last season.

Last season, the Gorillas reached the 2nd round of the League Challenge Cup, defeating Enfield Borough in the 1st Round 2-1, before narrowly losing away to Harlow Town 3-4 in an exciting contest.

The League contests between both sides, saw the teams take three points of each other, away from home. NWL first won 5-2 away from home in a dominant performance before May & Baker claimed a 2-1 victory in Harlow towards the end of the season.

NWL have so far shown promise but are yet to register their first victory. A pulsating game against Cannons Wood, saw a close contest lost at 2-3 and the Gorillas will be looking to turn performances into results with the Cup fixture.

Team news for NWL, it looks like to be a very similar squad with rotation possible given the midweek fixture & the schedule ahead.
