Preview: North Ferriby (A)

Martin Eastwood28 Aug - 18:45

Another trip out East for unbeaten Pewits.

Emley head out to the East coast again on Saturday when we make the trip to the East Riding to face North Ferriby in the Northern Premier League Division One East (3pm). Emley's fourth away game in the last 5 games.

Following last Saturday's fruitful trip up to Redcar, it's Eastbound again for Emley, who, following their 1-1 draw with Garforth Town on bank holiday Monday, remain unbeaten in the league so far.

Ferriby have one win, two draws and two defeats so far from their four league games, Emley have won two and drawn two of our four games so far and both sides were knocked out of the FA Cup early on, Emley succumbing to Longridge Town and Ferriby going out to current NPL D1 East leaders, Redcar Athletic.

Emley don't have a great recent record against Ferriby, or at Grange Lane, one win and four defeats in the last four meetings and our last win, and indeed our last goals there came in 1982, will this be the time we finally end that drought?

WHO ARE THEY:
North Ferriby FC were formed in 2019 when the village's original club, North Ferriby United were liquidated, the previous club scaled great heights, reaching the National league and beating Wrexham at Wembley in the 2015 FA Trophy final, the new club which rose from the ashes started life in the NCEL Division 1 where their first 2 seasons were brought short due to the Covid pandemic.

In season 2022/23 they would be involved in a promotion tussle with Emley out of the NCEL Premier Division, alas, Ferriby were crowned league champions and Emley missed out altogether but would follow North Ferriby into the NPL as NCEL champions in 2022/23.
