Stratford face title-chasing Nuneaton Borough after earning point against Ilkeston Town

GAVIN Hurren admits a trip to title-chasing Nuneaton Borough this weekend could not be a tougher test for Stratford Town’s improving form – but it’s a challenge he will relish.

Hurren says the last two results – last Saturday’s draw at Ilkeston Town following a win at AFC Rushden & Diamonds – has provided a big lift after a horror run.

The manager stressed they need to keep improving to push away from the Southern Premier Central drop-zone and on Saturday the third-from-bottom Bards will look to turn the tables at third-placed Boro.
