Salisbury travel to St Albans for league action this weekend

Friday, 4 October 2024 05:55

Salisbury travel to the cathedral city of St Albans in Hertfordshire on Saturday for their latest Vanarama National League South fixture.

The Whites come into the fixture following their elimination from the FA Cup against league rivals Bath City, losing 2-1 at the Ray Mac.

Before that, Salisbury had picked up all three points in the Wiltshire Derby with a 3-2 win against Chippenham Town at home.

Salisbury currently sit 15th in the table after nine matches, with three wins, two draws and four losses.

St Albans also lost the FA Cup to step-four side Gorleston, who play in the Isthmian League North. The Saints lost 4-2 to the Suffolk-based side.

In the league, St Albans have not won in their first nine matches, drawing three and losing six, and they sit bottom of the table.

There have been some green shoots of recovery for them, though. They are unbeaten in the last two league matches, with a 1-1 draw away at Torquay United in their last league fixture.

If you can't make the game, listen to full match commentary on Salisbury Radio. All the buildup from 2pm with Andy & Ian with commentary from 3pm.
