NW LONDON VS WORMLEY ROVERS
match preview
The rollercoaster continues for NW London & it’s a key moment as NWL play their first home game at the Pardus Wealth Stadium in Harlow. The ground move, which was quickly agreed after continuous issues at London Colney, now presents a second home for NW London this season. Having previously utilised Coles Park Stadium in Wood Green, this will in fact be the third different venue for a home game for NW London and it will be a permanent move until the end of the 23-24 campaign. The League results for NW London have been erratic to say the least, with mixed performances resulting in inconsistency of points gained. Tuesday night followed suit to NW’s season as despite a strong performance away from home at Brimsdown to win 2-0, it was followed by an injury time defeat to Enfield Borough. Wormley Rovers are the visitors for today’s League and are currently unbeaten in the last 8 games. The previous meeting between the sides earlier in the season, saw late goals from Wormley achieve the 3 points in a 3-1 victory. Team news for NW London, Noe Nangura is out with a knee injury and Leonel Fernandes is also likely to miss out with an ankle problem. Bright Marfo looks set to return after two weeks out with a knee issue.
THE OPPOSITION
Wormley Football Club was founded in 1921, but folded in 1926 After failed attempts to reform the club during the 1930s, it was revived in 1946. They went on to have success in junior football between the late 1940s and early 1960s, after which the club joined Division Three of the Hertfordshire County League in 1976 They won the division at the first attempt, earning promotion to Division Two. After missing out on another promotion on goal difference in 1979–80, the club were runners-up in Division Two the following season and were promoted to Division One. In 1986–87 they won the Division One title, resulting in promotion to the Premier Division.Although they were relegated back to Division One after two seasons, they were Division One runners-up in 1991–92 and returned to the Premier Division. Wormley spent the next 26 seasons in the Premier Division, finishing as runners-up in 1993–94, 1998–99, 1999–2000 and 2009–10, as well as reaching the final of the Herts Senior Centenary Trophy in 1999–2000 and 2000–01, losing 2–0 to Tring Athletic on both occasions. After a fifth-placed finish in 2017–18 they were promoted to Division One South of the Eastern Counties League. They reached the final of the Herts Senior Centenary Trophy in 2019– 20, but the final was not played due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the club were jointly awarded the trophy with their opponents Oxhey Jets. In 2022–23 the club finished third in the division, qualifying for the promotion play-offs, in which they were beaten 2–0 by Sporting Bengal United in the semi-finals.
