Invicta make the trip to Cheshunt on Saturday looking to make it back-to-back wins following last weekend’s 1-0 win over Whitehawk.

Non-League Day

With the Premier League and EFL Championship on international break, Saturday is Non-League Day.

Cheshunt will be raising money for Prostate Cancer UK and collecting donations for Broxbourne Foodbank.

Gate will open at 11am with a pre-match game from Cheshunt Youth at midday, a DJ, face painting and sweets.

The Opposition

After a difficult start to the season saw Craig Edwards depart with Cheshunt sitting in 21st in the Isthmian Premier Division. Mel Gwinnett took over later that month and has lifted The Ambers to a steady 15th position, 12 points clear of safety with 7 games remaining.

The Manager

Following the departure of the long-serving Craig Edwards in October, Cheshunt appointed Mel Gwinnett as their new manager.

Mel has held roles as a goalkeeping coach at Exeter City and MK Dons, assistant manager at Stevenage and Barnet before taking on the top job at Hampton & Richmond where he lead them to within a point of the National League South playoffs before departing in the summer.

Key Man

23 year old midfielder Antonis Vasilou is currently Cheshunt’s top goalscorer this season with 15 in 36 appearances. Antonis featured against Invicta last season during a spell at Margate, scoring a late equaliser in our 2-2 draw at Hartsdown Park in the FA Cup. After coming through as a youngster at Barnet, he joined Wingate & Finchley in 2022 before moving to Kent a year later, moving on to Cheshunt after a short spell in Thanet.
