Preview : Carlton Town (H)

Pewits welcome The Millers as we return to league duties.

It's back to league action for Emley this weekend as Carlton Town visit from Nottinghamshire in the latest Northern Premier League Division One East clash at the Fantastic Media Welfare Ground on Saturday (3pm).

Tuesday's 5-0 win saw league leaders Emley safely through to the 3rd round of the county cup, but it also saw second placed Belper Town slip up, with a chance to overtake Emley at the top, Belper missed their chance, losing 2-0 at home to Brighouse.

It means Emley go into the weekend still top of the league against a Carlton side who have eyes on breaking into the top 5 play off positions following their 1-1 draw just up the road at Bradford PA in midweek.

Carlton Town were formed in 1904 as Sneinton FC and were seen as Nottingham's top non league club for many years, playing in various local amateur leagues until they made the step up to the Central Midlands League in 1995-96, in 2002 they changed their name to Carlton Town and immediately won promotion to the Northern Counties East League as CML champions.

Two successive promotions then saw the club ascend to the NPL (D1 South), missing out on promotion to the Premier Division in 2008-09 and 2011-12 in the play offs, in terms of FA competitions, Carlton reached the FA Cup 3rd qualifying round in successive seasons, 2012-13 and 2013-14 losing to Bradford PA and Vauxhall Motors respectively.

Carlton are unbeaten in their last 5 league outings, whilst Emley have only lost once in the league this season, since that defeat to North Ferriby, The Pewits have won all 3 games, rattling in 10 goals and conceding none.

This will be the first ever meeting between the clubs.

Last time out:
Emley 5-0 Wombwell Main (Sankoh-Fernandez, Malumo, Sorhaindo, Walshaw, Curtis) SHSC 2R, Att- 288
Bradford (Park Avenue) 1-1 Carlton Town (Durow) NPL D1 East, Att-256.
