2026/27 SEASON

City v Stamford AFC

Saturday 22nd August 2026

This was City's first home game of the season following after three away games that yielded three goals but only one point so in many ways it was important for City to win the game.

City could have had a penalty in the first minute, but nothing was given. City though were well on top in the first 45 minutes with plenty of good approach work but lacking the killer touch. The vital first and as it turned out only goal came as half time approached. A scrappy tap in by Brendan Smalley from a corner.

The second half was more of the same, but City appeared to have scored a second at the start of the added time at the end of the game, Nothing was given as perhaps the officials did not have a clear view of the incident. Stamford best chance to grab an unlikely point followed with the ball crashing back to safety off the woodwork. And so it ended City 1 Stamford 0 to the relief of the very vocal home fans. Good to see Isaac Reid and family at the game too.
