FC Stratford eye experienced heads to help youngsters

FOOTBALL

FC STRATFORD are keeping tabs on couple of potential additions as they prepare to face Hampton for a second time in a week.

Manager Nick Ballinger admitted last week’s 3-2 defeat at Hampton, after Stratford had led 2-0 at half-time, was ‘men against boys’ but he already knew he needed to find extra experience to nurture the youngsters in the team.

Hampton visit the Arden Garages Stadium on Saturday in the league return and Ballinger will await a roll-call of players after many featured for Town’s youth side in their county cup last night.

But he hopes Caine Elliott and James Macmillan will be fit to return.

Shipston Excelsior have a free weekend.
