The Visitors – Cheshunt

 Craig Edwards was happy to welcome two new signings before the non-league transfer deadline on Thursday. Harry Titchmarsh joined on loan from Peterborough, the 18-year-old midfielder is keen to impress the Posh in this short-term loan deal. Ivan Atkins has also been added to the ranks.

Cheshunt’s three game win streak came to an end on Tuesday after a gutting defeat to Margate in the rain. On the performance, Craig Edwards said: “I thought we were the better team by far and it was a bad defeat for us because we were so much better. But I thought they defended very  well.” Due to the weather, the Ambers’ match against play-off contenders Horsham was called off on Saturday afternoon.

Head-to-Head – Enfield Town vs Cheshunt

The Ambers will be looking to change the fortunes around on Monday as Enfield come out on top with four wins compared to Cheshunt’s one in recent matches. The Ambers’ win against the Townies came in December 2021. An early goal from Sam Youngs was cancelled out swiftly by a Mo Camara goal. Rowan Liburd won it for the Ambers with just over fifteen minutes to go.
