Midlands bound again

Buoyed by the exciting win over Darlington 1883 in mid-week, Reds head for the Midlands again on Saturday with Halesowen Town the opponents at Old Hawne Lane (3pm).

Town have won one and lost three of their opening fixtures and are currently in 21st position whilst Reds’ first win lifted them to 13th.

Early days, of course, and another tough ninety minutes ahead for both sides as was the case in last season’s encounters. A Matty Tymon goal decided the corresponding fixture twelve months ago with the return at Borough Park finishing goalless.

It is the start of a hectic week-end for Evo-Stik clubs with Saturday’s fixtures quickly followed by a full programme on Bank Holiday Monday.

In view of that and the travelling last Saturday and this, the Reds squad were given the night off training on Thursday.
