Our Opponents
Thurnby Nirvana was formed in 2008 by the merger of Thurnby Rangers and Leicester Nirvana, joining the UCL at the start of this season after winning the Step 6 East Midlands Counties League last campaign.
They are based in Thurnby Lodge which is an estate in eastern Leicester.
After beating Peterborough Northern Star at the end of September they have won their four games in October scoring 23 goals in those four games. With the Diamonds also having won their last four games scoring 23 goals it promises to be a free-scoring game on Saturday.
Thurnby are managed by Damion Quailey and their club colours are red and green. Their club website is here, and their twitter feed is here.
