48 hours later, and we're back! Following our point against Worthing FC on Saturday, The Tudors are back in away action this bank holiday Monday with a trip to North London awaiting to take on recently promoted Enfield Town. Let's take a deeper look into tomorrow's opponents...
Founded: 2001 Nickname: The Towners Stadium: The David Bryant Stadium Stadium Capacity: 2,500 Manager: Gavin Macpherson
Right then, back on the road Monday afternoon! Our third away day of the season comes against league newcomers, Enfield Town at The Dave Bryant Stadium. An unsettled start to life in the National League South, The Towners have picked up three points out of a possible 12 so far, with their only win coming against Weston-Super-Mare on their return to The Dave Bryant. When taking a closer look at the club's history, promotion to the National League South was secured for the first time ever after impressively beating Wingate & Finchley in the Isthmian Premier division semi-final play-off, before beating Chatham Town away from home, 0-3 in the final.
A club that was created, and still run by fans to this day, Enfield Town formed in 2001 after splitting away from former side Enfield FC due to the former side's ex chairman not having the club's interests at heart. This resulted in Enfield Supporter's trust members raising funds, and ultimately making the decision to form a new club, that being tomorrow's hosts.
Since being formed in 2001, the club has seen great success after originally being in the Essex Senior League in their first ever season. Working their way up the footballing pyramid, former Hemel manager Bradley Quinton also had an important part to play in bringing Enfield Town success, managing the side from 2014 until 2017.
The Dave Bryant Stadium, formerly known as The Queen Elizabeth II Stadium, has been home to The Towners for 14 years following a grant from the London Borough of Enfield which allowed the club to move into their new home back in 2008.

With games coming thick & fast, Hemel Hempstead look to continue their unbeaten start to the season, as well as their 100% win record on the road so far, with wins coming at both Weymouth and Aveley for Bobby Wilkinson's side.
A new side to the division, this will be the first ever time The Tudors matchup against The Towners. One face Hemel fans maybe familiar with, is former striker Michael Folivi, who signed for tomorrow afternoon's opponents during the summer.
We hope to see as many Tudors as possible in North London tomorrow afternoon, for some bank holiday action!
