Tudors to face Nuneaton Town in the FA Cup, while Mackey heads out on loan to Dunstable
Hemel Town FC have drawn Conference Premier outfit Nuneaton Town away in the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup.
The Tudors have met Nuneaton twice in their history – both league games in the Southern Premier Division in 2009/10. In both games Nuneaton ran out 3-1 winners.
There are a few places left for supporter’s club members on the coach that was originally travelling to Bath City and will now divert to Nuneaton. The cost is £10 for adults and £5 for U18s. Contact [email protected] for more details.
Meanwhile, last season’s top scorer Ben Mackey has gone on a 28-day loan to Dunstable Town, with 18-year-old forward Jemale McKenzie-Lowe joining Hemel on a similar length deal.
Tudors manager Dean Brennan said about the deal: “Ben is a fantastic servant to this club, but for the next month he’s going to get himself some games and some goals at Dunstable Town.
“In return we’re taking Jemale McKenzie-Lowe on loan from Dunstable; he’s a 6ft 2ins striker who will give us a different dimension to our attacking options.
“It’s a tough decision to let a key player like Ben go out on loan, but it has been a frustrating season for him so far; we know he’s a goal scorer, after all his goals helped us to win the league championship last season.”
A club spokesman added: “The club wish Ben all the best in his time with Dunstable.”
