Horley Town are eager to bounce back to winning ways at the New Defence this weekend, facing a tough challenge against bottom-of-the-league Guildford City.

The last fixture saw Horley suffer a narrow 1-0 defeat to Tadley Calleva on Tuesday night, in what can only be described as atrocious weather conditions. Despite the difficult circumstances, the Clarets will be looking to put that result behind them and focus on securing three points.

Guildford City, sitting 10th in the form table, have been showing signs of improved form recently. Their last two matches resulted in draws—against the runaway leaders Cobham and away at Redhill—indicating they are a resilient side and capable of causing problems. Currently placed just below Horley in 7th, this promises to be a closely contested encounter.

Adding extra spice to the fixture are two familiar faces returning to the New Defence — Tobi Falodi and Ben Drake — who now play for Guildford City.

Guildford supporters are expected to travel well, promising a lively atmosphere at the New Defence.

Come on, the Clarets! Let’s get back to winning ways!
