The home team, Norwich City FC U21s, is the first of the two teams vying for a spot in the final. At the moment, they participate in the Premier League 2, which is the U21 Division of the Premier League. Dereham Town FC, who play in the Eastern Region Premier Division at Step 5 of the Non-League System, are their rivals.
After a seven-year break, Norwich City FC U21s returned to the Norfolk Hire Senior Cup last season. In Premier League 2, Norwich City’s U21 team is presently ranked 21st out of 26 teams. This season, they have fourteen points after four wins, two draws, and seven losses. The Canaries defeated Sprowston FC 2-0 to advance to the third round of the Norfolk Hire Senior Cup. They advanced with a 1-0 victory after drawing with Fakenham Town in the quarterfinal.
Dereham Town FC, who presently play at Step 5, is the away team. In the Eastern Counties Premier Division, they are presently ranked ninth out of twenty. They currently have forty-four points after winning twelve, drawing eight, and losing six games this season. The Magpies defeated Bradenham & Mattishall FC 5-0 to go to the second round of the competition. They advanced to the quarterfinals with a 1-0 victory over Yelverton FC in a more competitive match in the third round. They enter this matchup possibly facing their most difficult task to date after defeating Great Yarmouth Town FC 3-0.
Naturally, the match officials will be the third team on display for the spectacle. They have earned the right to be here, just like the teams, and we wish them luck on what will be an event that everyone will remember. Richard Owen is the referee. Louis Lofts and Cameron Saunders serve as assistant referees. Official number four is Samuel Gasson-Cox.
