And here we go again for another Baldock Town v Biggleswade United derby match, here on a Wednesday evening, at the New Lamb Meadow.

Last week the prize up for grabs was 3 League points, whereas this week it’s a cup tie – the SSML Premier Division Cup, Quarter-Final to be precise, and the opportunity to line-up against London Colney in the Semi-Final.

Baldock Town reached this stage of the competition initially beating Colney Heath 3-2 in the first round, with goals from Sean Brettell and two Kieran Barnes penalty kicks. This was followed by winning on penalties away at Leighton Town after the scores ended level at 1-1 in normal time. Kieran was again on the mark that evening with an amazing volleyed goal that will live long in the memory of anyone who witnessed it.

United however have had maybe a less stressful passage through to tonight’s match after receiving a bye in the first round, and then seeing off Edgware Town in the 2nd round 3-0 at Second Meadow. Their goals that evening came from Joe Hankins, David Parkinson and sub Aaron McArdle.

Looking at the current form table (below), you would be forgiven for thinking that this could be something of a mis-match. United have recently hit a fine patch of form while the Reds have had their struggles of late. But this is cup football and anything can and probably will happen. You have been warned!
