Sutton United Football Club will host local rivals AFC Wimbledon this pre-season, and will take place on Saturday, 19th July.
The U’s have already confirmed a number of pre-season friendlies already, including clashes with Bromley, Wycombe Wanderers, Chertsey Town and Millwall, and have now added another big fixture to the schedule with the newly promoted Wombles set to make the short trip across South London as they look to prepare for a campaign in League One, having beaten Walsall in the play-off final at the start of the week.
Sutton last faced the Dons on Boxing Day 2023 with a second half goal from Omar Sowunmi being enough to secure a narrow victory at Plough Lane, and have otherwise taken part in a number of feisty affairs over the last few years.
Perhaps the most notable came in the famous 2016/17 FA Cup run, as late strikes from Roarie Deacon, Maxime Biamou and Dan Fitchett sealed a memorable 3-1 win at Kingsmeadow in the Third Round Replay, and set the U’s on their way to a win over Leeds United before facing Arsenal in the infamous Fifth Round clash at Gander Green Lane.
A kick-off time, along with ticket information for this summer’s fixture, will be announced in due course.
