FIXTURE NEWS: FC United Trip Moved

Quorn Football Club have received confirmation from the Northern Premier League that their first visit to Broadhurst Park will be pushed back ten days from Saturday the 17th of October to Tuesday the 27th (19:45). The move became necessary due to the Red Rebels continuing run in the Emirates FA Cup. FC won 3-0 away to National League North side Worksop Town in the third qualifying round and are set to make the short trip to Altrincham in the fourth round instead of hosting the Reds.

The two sides have met once before, when Quorn defeated their, much fancied, hosts at Bury’s Gigg Lane in the FA Vase almost 20 years ago. Nigel Julien scored the winning goal as the Reds would go on to reach the fifth round that season, the clubs best performance in the competition. FC United will no doubt be looking to avenge the defeat in just under three weeks time.
