Match Preview

Settle United AFC look to make it three wins on the bounce on Wednesday evening with a home fixture Vs Colne United FC.

Both sides go into the midweek fixture at Bridge End full of confidence with United sitting top of the league after a tough fixture away to Mill Hill St Peters where Settle dug out a 2-1 win with a few key players absent.

Colne United FC on the other hand ran away with a 6-0 opening weekend win against AFC Burnley.

Player-manager Tom Strickland said earlier this week: "of course, we've had two great results in our opening league encounters so we're full of confidence going into this game. But every game at this stage of the season is a brand-new test for our lads and we have to be ready to go and win a game of football come 7pm on Wednesday evening. Colne are a good side and a 6-0 win shows the quality they have in their side so we can't underestimate the tough test ahead."

Aaron Hollindrake looks to continue his early-season goalscoring form leading the line for Settle United.
