Last season
We took four points from our visitors last season. We took a 0-0 draw away to Stafford back in September 2019 before winning the reverse fixture 3-1 at Greenwich Avenue. On that day Kane Richards gave us a 1-0 lead that lasted just two minutes as Bradley Grayson equalised. We then scored twice without reply to earn the win.
