Midland League weekend preview

FC STRATFORD will be aiming to throw a spanner in the works of Smithswood Firs' promotion bid when the teams meet at Mackadown Lane on Saturday.

Following their midweek Coventry Telegraph Cup semi-final defeat to Woodlands, Stratford are now playing for pride this season as they bid to end a rollercoaster season on a positive note.

Alcester Town, still licking their wounds after a 4-3 defeat at Redditch Borough on Tuesday night, can move back into the top six if they can pick up three points at Badsey Rangers.

In Midland League Division One, title challengers Nuneaton Griff face a stiff challenge when they host Racing Club Warwick, while Studley visit Pilkington XXX.

Littleton, who have had another solid season, travel to Sheepy Road to face Atherstone Town.

A big game at the foot of the Midland League Division Two table sees the bottom two go head-to-head with Feckenham at home to Earlswood Town.
