Sports on the Road – Grantham Town (A) Match Preview

Mickleover Sports go back on their travels this Tuesday night as they make another trip to Lincolnshire to face the Gingerbread Men of Grantham Town. Grantham were last seasons play off runners up losing to Ashton United in the final. This will be a very tough game for Sports but one they need to pick some points up from in what is a very congested and action packed month of the season. Grantham will still be hurting from that play off final defeat and will be looking to go one better this time around and claim promotion to the National League North. After a very good start to the campaign so far, this looks like a realistic target for the side from Lincolnshire.

LAST TIME OUT
It was three points for the Gingerbread on Saturday as they won 2-0 at Marine. Goals from Ross Barrows and Michael Hollingsworth from the spot saw the points come back to Lincolnshire. Grantham Town sit 9th on 8 points having won two, drawn two and lost only one. Sports of course come into the game after the 3-1 home defeat to Buxton, with Evan Garnett netting his second of the season for Sports.

SPORTS TEAM NEWS
Sports look set to be without the defensive duo of Pablo Mills & Kevin Grocott after the pair were injured by Buxton FC in the last game.
