High stakes in South London: Sutton provide big test for promotion hopefuls

In what may turn out to be a nervy trip to Sutton, Barnet were hoping to secure the national league title with this trip down south or the ones prior, however with ‘The Bees’ not winning since late March, York have piled late pressure on the champions elect.

Boxing day provided a spectacle, a six goal thriller with a point a piece, however any slight slip up from the away side may prove costly as title rivals York have picked up fifteen points from a maximum of fifteen.

Sutton will be reliant on Will Davies who is the clubs current top goal scorer with twenty-one goal contributions so far, but for Barnet  standouts include Idris Kanu and Callum Stead. Expect goals galore at Gander Green Lane, as both sides have been scoring and conceding frequently in the run up for an Easter Monday affair.

Both sides drew 1-1 on Good Friday, however Barnet’s wait for promotion will have to wait until Aldershot on Saturday 26th so long as results go their way. Expect a sold-out fixture with the away end allocation being extended to 1,500.

The assistant manager for Barnet, Connor Smith, praised the club’s fans and their dedication to the team in the run-in fixtures towards the later stages of the campaign.
