MATCH PREVIEW: Ravenshead vs Grantham Town FC Reserves
Saturday, October 4th, 2025

The Gingerbreads are back on the road this afternoon, making the short trip to face a lively Ravenshead side in what promises to be another testing encounter for the young Grantham Town Reserves.

After a string of solid performances, confidence is steadily growing in the camp. The Reserves have shown plenty of promise in recent weeks — energetic, brave on the ball, and beginning to find their rhythm in front of goal. Managers Millsy and Si will be hoping that momentum continues today against a Ravenshead outfit known for their physical edge and fast starts.

Key man Alfie Sheen starts, fresh from an excellent showing last time out, while Harry Johnson is expected to provide that tireless running and link-up play that’s become his trademark. There’s also excitement around the younger players pushing for minutes — eager to make their mark in the black and white of Grantham.

Ravenshead, meanwhile, are no pushovers. Strong at home, they’ll look to make use of their narrow pitch and quick counter-attacks, so discipline and concentration will be vital if the Gingerbreads are to get a result.

Expect a tight, competitive contest — one that could hinge on which side keeps its composure in the key moments. Grantham’s mix of youth, pace, and growing togetherness could be the difference.

Kick-off: 3pm
Venue: Cornwater Field, Ravenshead
Prediction: Another spirited performance from the young Gingerbreads — and every chance of bringing something back home.
