Fresh off a clinical 3-0 victory over East Grinstead Town, AFC Croydon Athletic return to Mayfield Stadium this Saturday with one goal in mind: keeping the pressure on the top spot. As we celebrate Non-League Day on 28th March, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
With seven wins on the bounce, the Rams are the league’s form side. We currently sit in 2nd place, just five points behind leaders Three Bridges. Every point is vital as we enter the business end of the season, and Saturday’s clash against Ashford United promises to be a true test of our promotion credentials.
The Opposition: Ashford United
The “Nuts and Bolts” arrive at Mayfield Stadium currently sitting in 10th place. While they may be mid-table, their recent form suggests they are far from pushovers. In their last outing on 21st March, they fought out a tough 1-1 draw away at Beckenham Town, following a massive 6-1 demolition of Broadbridge Heath earlier in the month.
They possess a potent attack, spearheaded by Ollie Bate and Gary Lockyer, and will be looking to play the role of “spoiler” to our winning streak. We’ll need to remain as composed and clinical as we were last weekend to ensure the points stay in Thornton Heath.
