ST IVES TOWN FC V BANBURY UNITED FC
THE PITCHING IN SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE PREMIER DIVISION CENTRAL
Saturday 4 December 3pm k.o
The Ives head into this game on the back of two 2-2 draws against an unbeaten Banbury United.
Oxford Utd goalkeeper Mackenzie Chapman joins the Ives on an initial one month loan ahead of tomorrow’s game as Paul White left the club this week to join Peterborough Sports and Ben Heath is suspended following his red card at Lowestoft last Saturday. Coincidentally Mackenzie has also played for Banbury this season on loan.
The Puritans are the last remaining unbeaten team in the division with 13 wins & 3 draws. They also reached the 1st round of the FA Cup before bowing out in front of the cameras at the hands of Barrow. Click here for Banbury United’s fixtures & results.
The two clubs have met at WWR on 3 occasions with all 3 games ending in draws. We last met here on 24/11/18 in an entertaining 2-2 draw with the Ives going 2-0 up in the first 6 minutes. You can read the match report from our archives by clicking here.
