Interesting fixture this one. We have not played them yet and they have ex Diamond ds in their squad. Oulton, Shariff, Wilson and Richards. Last week saw the end of a decent run and yesterday struggled to beat Halesowen. They have two central defenders suspended. I fancy us to bounce back from yesterdays disappointing display.

Well done lads.
A top performance and a well deserved win. Nice to see Ben Heath keeping a clean sheet on his 100th appearance for the club.

A complete polar opposite from Saturday. Credit to Stratford, they contributed to a quality match, I could certainly see why they were 3rd in the table coming in to the game.

Stratford bossed the first half, but overall I thought the pace in their side was dealt with well. A shocking foul by Ross Oulton, who spent the majority of the match complaining to the ref, but he does have a bit of a recklessness in him.

I think the lads can be happy with that performance.
