Match Preview

With Tuesday’s league match away at Rothwell postponed due to a frozen pitch, Moulton travel across the county to take on Wollaston Victoria in defence of the Les Underwood Junior Cup (KO 2:00).

Wollaston currently occupy 7th position in the Northants Combination Premier Division with 23 points gained from 15 league games. They have a total of 7 wins (4 home; 3 away), 2 draws and 6 defeats in the league. Their previous opponents in the Junior Cup were Wellingborough Whitworth Res (A) 3-0 and last round, Earls Barton Utd (A) 5-0. They also progressed into the next round of the Combination Premier Div Cup with a 3-0 home win v Spratton. They finished 7th last season in the Combination Premier Division.

Their last 4 games have seen them gain 3 wins (Woodford (H-Lge), Corby Pegasus (A-Lge), Earls Barton Utd (A-Jnr Cup)) and 1 draw (Corby Stewart & Lloyds (H-Lge)). Their other league wins this campaign have been against Medbourne (H); Heyford Athletic (H), Corby Strip Mills (A), Higham Town (H) and Spratton (A). Moulton go into the match 13 games without defeat in all competitions with 12 wins and 1 draw.

The last fixtures between the two teams were back in the Northants Combination 2021/22 season where we saw a 3-3 away draw in Feb 22 (Scorers: Dan Worton, Dan Camacho and Ash Stewart) and a home 3-3 draw in April (Scorers: Dan Camacho (2), Dan Stewart)…would appear having the name Dan helps in scoring.

Saturdays referee is Ralph Seckington who as far as I can see has not officiated a match involving Moulton in the recent past.
