Potters Bar v Lewes….The Preview

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Our Saturday commentary match this week comes from The Pakex where Potters Bar take on Lewes in the Bostik League Premier. The Scholars will be looking to bounce back from a week which has seen them beaten at league leaders Tonbridge Angels before going out of the League Cup on penalties by Hayes and Yeading. Coach James Duncan rested a number of first team regulars for the midweek action so Potters Bar should be back at full strength for the visit of a Lewes side who are unbeaten away from home in the league this season. The Rooks have already won at Wingate and Finchley, Margate and Dorking Wanderers, they’ve found the going much more difficult at the Old Dripping Pan where they haven’t registered three points in four attempts. The Scholars in their first season at Premier level are just three points outside the play offs. Lewes was once home to Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts and Arthur Brown of ‘Fire’ fame it also staged one of the earliest cricket matches on record in 1694, suffered the worst avalanche in British history in 1836 and boasts the biggest bonfire night festivities in the UK. From 2010 Lewes FC has been owned by the clubs fans, shares in the club can still be purchased for a minimum stake of £30.

Pete Hill will be providing reports and live commentary from the Pakex on HRB Saturday Sport from 2:30pm.
