Local Derby Time….

Richard Eason

3rd v 4th v ON Chenecks

Moulton travel the short distance to Billing Road on Saturday for the local derby v ON Chenecks (KO 3:00)

Moulton welcomed Chenecks to Brunting Road back in July for the opening game of the United Counties Premier South 2026-27 season. On that Friday evening Chenecks came out with a 2-1 win, taking the lead after 17 mins (Augustine) only for Moulton to equalise on 52 mins (Stevens), but Chenecks regained the lead on 60 mins (Yusuf) and this remained the final score.

The 10 games between the sides in recent years has seen Moulton ahead with 5 wins, the other games resulting in 4 defeats and a draw. Last season the two teams met at Billing Road for what was then Chenecks first home game out of the first 10. That evening Moulton won 3-0, goals from Amaning, Ansu & Isom. Unfortunately, the final game of last season at home in April saw Chenecks take the points with a 4-2 win. Having taken a two goal lead through Falcini (18 mins) and a penalty from Hall (20 mins), Andy Hall was sent of after 32 mins. Chenecks then claimed a goal back to make it 2-1 before the break. Another three goals in the second half saw Chenecks claim the points.

Both teams are currently on the same amount of points, with Moulton lying 3rd on goal difference (Won 8; Drew 3; Lost 4), Chenecks 4th but having played 3 less games (Won 8; Drew 3; Lost 1), so all to play for.

ON Chenecks form over the last 6 games has seen 2 wins; 2 draws and 2 defeat, albeit those defeats against higher opposition in cup competitions:
7 Nov Lge Eynesbury Rovers 0-1 ON Chenecks Won
4 Nov Lge ON Chenecks 2-0 FC Peterborough Won
31 Oct FAV Belper United 2-0 ON Chenecks Lost
24 Oct Lge ON Chenecks 2-2 FC Stratford Drew
17 Oct Hillier Kettering Town 2-2 ON Chenecks Lost on penalties 4-1
14 Oct Lge ON Chenecks 2-2 St Neots Town Drew

Their only defeat in the league was back in September at home v Coventry Sphinx 0-1.

Apart from the exit to the FA Vase and Hillier Cup (see above), ON Chenecks exited the FA Cup (Lost away 3-0 v Stafford Rangers in early September) and the UCL KO Cup away at the end of September v Heanor Town 2-1.

Saturday’s referee is scheduled as Stewart Horn, who officiated in our home defeat by Desborough Town (0-1) back in August.
