Overview:
Thackley return to the Meridian Stadium at Dennyfield after a weekend off as they welcome Parkgate FC in what is a big game at the bottom of the division.

After their recent unbeaten run came to an end with a narrow loss away to Dearne & District, the Dennyboys will be looking to right the wrongs of that result and get back on track in their biggest game of the season up to this point.

The Opposition:
Parkgate arrive at this fixture after a difficult start to the NCEL Premier Division season.

The ‘Steelmen’ currently sit 18th in the table on six points and with just two wins to their name, these coming against Handsworth FC, who were defeated 2-0 and Campion AFC, who they beat 2-1 in the next game.

Since this mini run of form, results have included a 4-0 loss to Dearne & District and a 3-0 defeat to Albion Sports.

Their Emirates FA Cup fortunes weren’t much better as they slipped a convincing 8-0 defeat to Pontefract Collieries.

Key Players:
Parkgate’s key man in the goals department league wise so far has been Harry Day, who has two to his name so far, both of these coming in the win against Campion.

Meanwhile, Alex Bonnington and Bradley Gregory also have two their name, though these are of course spread over both league and cup competitions, including the pair combining in the team’s Emirates FA Cup win against Sheffield FC, a game they won 2-0.

Previous Meeting:
The most recent fixture between Thackley and Parkgate came back in March when the Dennyboys picked up a massive point in the race to beat the relegation zone thanks to a 1-1 draw at Roundwood.

After Shay Evans-Booth managed to put the hosts ahead, Luke Brooks would equalise on half time, with a good second half showing sealing the point.
