Moulton welcome G.N.G Oadby Town to Brunting Road this Saturday in what will be Moulton’s 1st league game at Step 5 of the League Pyramid (KO 3:00).
G.N.G Oadby Town are a club based to the South East of Leicester, just up the Harborough Road. Their away colours are White shirt with Red shorts and socks. The exact year of formation of ‘The Poachers’ is unsure but it is believed to be either 1937 or 1939 under the guise of Oadby Imperial. In 1951 Oadby Imperial changed their name to become Oadby Town FC. In the same year they won the Leicestershire Senior League Division Two Championship and were promoted to Division One (later Division One became the Premier League and Division Two became Division One).In recent years Oadby Town moved across to the United Counties League Division One (Step 6) for the 2012–13 season, which they won as champions and were promoted into the United Counties Premier Division South (Step 5). In August 2020, the club was renamed GNG Oadby Town to recognise the contribution of former GNG players and Oadby residents in saving the club from financial difficulties in 2018.
Last season saw them end up one from bottom in the league (18th) with 27 points from their 36 games (Won 8; Drew 3; Lost 25). Their last four games of the season saw them lose to Histon (A) 3-1; Leicester Nirvana (A) 2-0; Coventry Utd (H) 5-1 and the eventual champions St Neots (A) 7-1. Their last league win being at home to Easington Sports 3-1 back at the end of March 2025.
Saturday’s referee is scheduled as Paul Milhalache, a new name to officiate a Moulton game.
