LONDON (Interstat) — A clash of unbeaten FA Trophy contenders is set for Saturday when Tilbury hosts Hadley in a fourth-round qualifying match.

Both sides enter the contest with identical 4-0-0 records in the competition, setting the stage for a potential classic at Chadfields. Across all competitions, Tilbury holds a slight edge in form with a 5-1-0 overall record, compared to Hadley’s 4-1-1 mark.

Tilbury, the home side, arrives with momentum from a 2-1 away victory over Chertsey Town on Oct. 4. Their only loss this season across all tournaments was a 4-2 defeat to Needham Market on Aug. 30. Since then, they have been formidable, conceding just one goal in their last three matches.

Hadley also brings confidence from a 2-1 home win against Dartford on Oct. 4. Their season is highlighted by a remarkable 9-8 victory over Ascot United on Sept. 20, though their lone defeat was a 2-1 loss to Maldon & Tiptree on Aug. 16.

The matchup presents a classic stylistic battle: Tilbury’s recent defensive solidity against Hadley’s proven offensive firepower.

According to the Interstat game simulator, the contest is projected to end in a 1-1 draw, suggesting a tightly-fought encounter that could require extra time or penalties to decide who advances.

Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. local time on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025.
