Mulbarton Wanderers desperately need points on Saturday, Oct 3 at 4:00 PM in the Isthmian League – North Division. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Takeley come into this fixture in good form (3W 0D 2L recently). Mulbarton Wanderers travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Takeley won their last outing, while Mulbarton Wanderers suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
