Nuneaton Borough have announced that they will face Stamford AFC on the 6th of August 2019.

The Boro’ will make the trip to Stamford, Lincolnshire, to face the hosts at the 2000 capacity Zeeco Stadium, for a 19:45 kick-off.

Just four days before the start of the season, the Daniels, who play in the Northern Premier League Division One East (Step 4) will give Jimmy Ginnelly's side a final preseason test.

The Boro' have played Stamford six times shared equally home and away, two preseason trips and four FA Cup ties, most recently in the 2007/8 season when Boro' bounced back after going behind, to a glorious eighth-minute strike from Tyrone Kirk, Gavin Cowan levelled almost immediately though. An own goal from Adam Jones, a Tom Curtis penalty and a further goal from Danny Williams saw Boro' through to face Chasetown in the 4th Qualifying Round.
