Holmesdale FC (H) Match Preview

Punjab United vs Holmesdale FC, SCEFL Premier Division, The Steve Cook Stadium, Tuesday 24th March 2026, 7:45pm Kick-Off

Punjab United are back at home this evening after a convincing 4-1 win against Corinthian on Saturday, where number 9 Roman Campbell was able to bag a hat-trick with a brace in the first half and a late goal in the second. Chris Edwards was also able to get himself onto the scoresheet, there was also some late drama which saw two Corinthian players being sent off in added time. This marked a great game for Punjab as they leapfrog their way up the table into 7th place, just a few points away from 5th place.

Punjab have a-lot to play for in this game as this is their last league outing before their massive FA Vase Semi-Final First Leg against Cockfosters, so starting a win streak here could provide pivotal for the team mentally on the pitch. For Holmesdale, they are trying to claw their way up the rankings and are looking to close their SCEFL campaign well in the coming match weeks, so bouncing back is important for them.
