Midland League weekend preview

James Robbins’ side have been in excellent form themselves, winning their last six to move up to seventh in the table.

“We’re playing the top three sides in consecutive games now and the lads cannot wait to get stuck into those fixtures,” said player-boss Robbins, who was on target in the team’s 5-1 demolition of Inkberrow last weekend.

“Stratford are flying high and are in very good form too, so we should be in for a cracking game.”

The match kicks off at 2pm at the DCS.

Elsewhere in division three, eighth meets sixth as Badsey Rangers welcome Redditch Borough to the Recreation Ground.

Shipston Exclelsior bid to bounce back from last weekend’s home defeat to Northfield with victory at Coventrians.

In division one, interim Southam United boss Terry Davidson has an extremely tough first game in hand when they take on league leaders Bromsgrove Sporting at Banbury Road.

Studley take on Leicester Road for the second successive weekend, while Littleton will be hopeful of picking up three points at struggling Heather St Johns.
