Last meeting
You have to go back over two years since the Buns and Town last faced off. On that occasion, it was the hosts that took the bragging rights with a 1-0 victory thanks to Jake Cross’ second goal of the season. Of the Town squad that took to the field that day, only Morgan Clarke and Callum Thomas remain.
