On Friday morning our academy side, currently sitting fourth in the EFL Youth Alliance South East Division and having won three of their last four games, play the team one place above them as Gillingham provide the opposition. Admission is free for the game, which kicks off at 11am and was brought forward by 24 hours to avoid a clash with Gillingham’s FA Cup tie against Leicester. It is a repeat of last season’s FA Youth Cup tie when Sutton came from two goals down to beat the Gills 3-2, although Gillingham gained revenge with a 4-2 win in the league a few weeks later.

On Sunday our women’s team face Dulwich Hamlet in the London & South East Regional Women’s League, kick off at 2pm with admission again free.
