AFC Rushden & Diamonds are the opponents for Barwell on Saturday 4th January 2020. The game will be played at Hayden Road, Rushden as the Canaries travel away for the first time this decade.

Barwell will go in to the game in good spirits after the 2-1 home win over Banbury United on New Year's Day. That win, with 10 men, will have given Guy Hadland's side a real lift after some disappointing results over Christmas.

Just one place and one point separate these two sides in the league table. Barwell are 12th with 32 points from 22 games with AFC Rushden & Diamonds in 11th with 33 points from 21 games. Diamonds did start the season strongly, hovering in the top 6 for the first few games, but have slipped away of late but with the league being so tight there is plenty they can still achieve this season.

Diamonds will be playing their first home game after 3 away games. Those games saw them beat St Ives Town 4-3, draw 0-0 with Biggleswade Town and lose 1-0 at Kings Langley.

The game is a 3pm kick off. The ground can be found at Hayden Road, Rushden, NN10 0HX. Parking is on residential streets around the ground.
