Saturday sees the third of five home games to be played at the Zeeco this month as Stockbridge visit Lincolnshire.

The Daniels come into the game on their best run of the season as they are on a four game unbeaten streak having not managed more than three beforehand. This run of form has seen them beat Chasetown, Romulus and Loughborough and draw to Kidsgrove. This has seen the Daniels start to move up the table and they are now up to 15th being one win off 11th with games in hand over some teams above. As unlikely as it seems Stamford are now just twelve points off the playoffs which whilst being unlikely they are still in with a small chance off completing what seemed impossible a few weeks ago.

Stocksbridge come into the game having lost three; 1-0 to Carlton, 4-3 to Witton and 2-0 to Kidsgrove with one draw to Leek (1-1) and a win against Loughborough (4-2). This has seen them in 12th just two points above the Daniels meaning that a win will see them rise above them.

They are also the lowest placed team with a positive goal difference having conceded 40 and scored 42 so whilst they don’t have the best attack they have one of the better defences in the division, in fact the joint fourth best.
