Match Preview

Banstead Athletic FC.
Our opposition today play their football in the Combined Counties Football League, Division One, which is one step lower than us and if you need a guide, they are the same level as Gravesham Borough who we played recently in the same competition at home.
Anyone who saw that Gravesham Borough game will know the fight they put up and there's no reason why today's fixture should be any different, especially as they are at home. They're in good form, sitting in second place in the table, mainly built on an excellent away record, as their home form has been less productive.
For me personally, it's the second new ground visited in a week having never been to Bearsted FC before and I've never been to Merland Rise either before.
Let's hope as many people as possible from Crowborough make the trip to Merland Rise, Tadworth, Surrey KT20 5JG to support the team.
There is extra-time today if needed and if the teams are still level after that then a replay will take place at the Community Stadium on Tuesday, 25th October 2016 with a 7:30pm kick off.
