Paul Caddis’ side face The Glassboys, Stourbridge, in the Second Round Proper of The Isuzu FA Trophy. The game takes place at the Docherty Walks Stadium at 3pm on Saturday 14th November 2026.
The Linnets will be looking to extend their back-to-back wins, following last Saturday’s 2-0 win against Spennymoor, and beating Hereford 3-0 a week before.
This is the second of back-to-back home games for the West Norfolk outfit, and the second of what will be four home matches in November.
The Opposition
The Glassboys travel to West Norfolk after back-to-back defeats in the league in the last week, with Saturday’s match against King’s Lynn Town being their third contest in the past seven days.
Tuesday night saw Scott Adey-Linforth’s side suffer a 1-2 home defeat to in-form Alvechurch, who on Saturday competed in the First Round Proper of the Emirates FA Cup away from home against League One side Plymouth Argyle. Eleven minutes into the game, Nick Clayton-Phillips put ‘Church ahead, with lead talisman Miracle Okafor doubling the visitors’ advantage with his tenth goal of the league campaign. Charlie Wragg pulled one back in the last minute of normal time, with hopes of a late comeback, but it proved to be too little, too late for the Glassboys.
After a comfortable start to the 2026/2027 Southern League Premier Division Central campaign, Stourbridge sit mid-table in 11th, recording six wins, four draws and six losses after sixteen games. Twenty-two points have been earned, with the Glassboys sitting seven points off the play-off places.
Previous rounds in the Isuzu FA Trophy
National League North and South sides enter the Isuzu FA Trophy at the Second Round Proper stage of the competition, with Step Three sides entering in the Third Qualifying Round.
Stourbridge started their FA Trophy campaign with a visit to Rushall Olympic, where they beat the home side 1-3. Charlie Pavey opened the scoring on the 10th-minute mark, with Charlie Wragg getting the second thirteen minutes later. Pavey nestled his second of the afternoon, and Stourbridge’s third, in the 60th minute. Rushall pulled one back with a consolation goal but were not able to muster any sort of comeback, meaning Stourbridge were in the hat for the First Round Proper, where they would travel to Loughborough Students.
A comfortable afternoon and a place in the Second Round Proper of the FA Trophy was sealed with a 2-0 win away from home against Loughborough Students. Former Leamington man Frank Tattum opened the scoring nine minutes before half-time, with Liam Brazier adding a second in the 77th minute, which proved to be the winning goal, setting up a Second Round Proper tie at the Docherty Walks with King’s Lynn Town.
Previous Encounters
This is the third encounter between King’s Lynn Town and Stourbridge in the FA Trophy, with the latest encounter being in the Second Round Proper of the FA Trophy in 2023. The Glassboys recorded a brilliant win at the War Memorial Athletic Ground on that day, with Brendon Daniels and Alex Prosser scoring two early second-half goals. Lynn replied through Josh Coulson in the 85th minute, but it wasn’t enough as Stourbridge sealed their place in the Third Round Proper of the FA Trophy.
Lynn take the overall head-to-head record, though, as they have won four out of the seven meetings between the two sides. Zero draws have taken place, with Stourbridge winning three.
Last time out in the FA Trophy for King’s Lynn Town
Last year’s FA Trophy campaign will not live long in the memory for Linnets fans, as they were knocked out on penalties by Harrow Borough.
Lynn cruised into a 2-0 lead inside twenty minutes, with goals from Ross Crane and Gold Omotayo converting from twelve yards. A dominant first-half performance brought hope that Lynn would make it to the FA Trophy Third Round. However, that was not the case, as two goals from Dernell Wynter, one in the 65th minute and the other in the 83rd, took the game to penalties. Harrow Borough claimed a famous victory as they won 3-2 on penalties. Harry Nevins was cool and collected from twelve yards, finding the back of the net before running over to the travelling fans to celebrate.
