The Reds will make the trip up to Ashton-Under-Lyme to face off against an inform Curzon Ashton side.
Quorn’s Form:
An impressive seven game league unbeaten run came to an end when the Reds were beaten by a well drilled Stockton Town side on Tuesday evening. The Anchors had come out of the blocks flying and gave a warning sign with an early goal on just 45 seconds. From that moment the away side gave a really good account of themselves. The Reds did equalise on the 30th minute through Aidan Edwards but it only lasted eight minutes with Stockton once again turning the screw to regain the lead. The Reds had come out the brighter of the two teams after the break and deservedly levelled on the 66th minute through Terell Pennant’s goal. Stockton however snatched a late winner.
The Opposition:
Curzon Ashton come into this game on the back off a 1-0 win at home to Ilkeston Town. In fact, it’s now three 1-0 wins in a row for The Nash with impressive wins against Stockton Town and FC United of Manchester by the same score line before. The Nash sit just one point off the league leaders Redcar Athletic and sit top of the tree in the form table with five straight league wins. Curzon have also won six straight league games at the Tameside Stadium.
Head-to-Head:
This will be the first meeting between the two sides and the first trip to The Tameside Stadium for The Methodists.
One-to-Watch:
Alex Curran is a man in red hot form for The Nash. The 28-year-old Attacking midfielder has an impressive nine goals to his name this term. Curran come through the Blackburn Rovers Academy before making the move to Colne where he spent two years between 2017-2019. He then spent two years at Stockport County being sent out on loan to FC United of Manchester and Curzon before making the move to the Nash permanent in 2021. His performances caught the eye of Macclesfield where he made the move just a year later in 2022 only to return to Curzon last summer.
