Whilst sides are newcomers to the league, they aren’t unfamiliar with one another having participated in a friendly at Barnsley Academy on 18th June 2023, where Game Changer lost 7-2 at home to the S6 club.
The Hillsborough club come into this fixture following an 8-3 defeat to Farm Road FC in a friendly match last Sunday at Concord Park. They had also participated in a friendly on 2nd September – losing 7-3 at Sheffield FC Development Team.
Game Changer will be looking to earn maximum points from their two fixtures this weekends encounters. But, whatever the result, will have earned a rest. Due to other fixture commitments the following weeks Fair Play League against Mosborough Yellows has been arranged for a later date.
