Hawks hope to put injury woes behind them!
Havant and Waterlooville will be looking to put their injury crisis behind them as they face Sutton United of the Vanarama National League at Westleigh Park on Saturday afternoon. With a number of players in the injury room, Lee Bradbury made the step of calling off their game against AFC Totton at the Testwood Stadium on Monday.
For Lee Bradbury he has a real dilemma on his hands. Bradley Tarbuck picking up a knock in their friendly win over Farnborough on Saturday just added fuel to the unwanted Hawks fire with Strugnall, Rose, Robinson and Stock sidelined last week and Matt Tubbs still not 100% fit, facts that will concern the Hawks gaffer just a fortnight before their big National League South return.
Whether fully fit or not in their way is a strong Sutton United side who under the stewardship of Paul Doswell are a side to look out for in next seasons Vanarama National League. They made national and International headlines last season as their run to the fifth round of the FA Cup captured the nations hearts. It would only be the eventual champions Arsenal who would deny them a historic quarter final all non league tie against Lincoln City with goals by Lucas Perez and Theo Walcott denying a dream result.
However it was not just their cup exploits that was music to the ears of the Gander Green Lane faithful as they finished a respectful 12th in what was their first season in the National League following promotion a season earlier.
MATCH AND TICKET INFO:
The colossal fixture takes place this Saturday (22nd July) at 3pm at Westleigh Park. Tickets for the fixture is priced at £10 for Adults and £5 for Concessions, competitive pricing to see a top National League side in action.
We hope to see as many Hawks and Yellows fans at Fort Westleigh on Saturday as possible as both sides look forward in earnest to another successful season.
