History of the Crawley Town v Rushden & Diamonds fixture

Crawley Town play host to Rushden & Diamonds at Broadfield Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Out of their two previous meetings, the Reds have drawn one game and lost the other.

The last time the two teams met at Crawley Town was more than a decade ago, in December 1995, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a (Southern) Premier match.
