FOLLOWING THE SALTMEN

Droitwich Spa v Stonehouse Town

Match Preview

30 Nov 2024.

Hellenic League Div 1

As per Wikipedia, ‘Stonehouse Town Football Club is a club based in Stonehouse, near Stroud, Gloucestershire’ and are based at the Ben’s Takeaway Stadium.

Roll over Emirates and Etihad, this has to be the best stadium sponsorship name since Featherstone Rovers Rugby League club played at the Chris Moyles stadium, named for the former Radio One Breakfast Show host. I wonder how much King Kebab would pay for naming rights to Kingys. Half the name is already there and Kingys Kebab Stadium has a good sound to it.

It has been an up and down season for the Magpies so far. They currently occupy ninth place in the table with their most recent league game ending in a 3-1 defeat at Ludlow. Prior to that, they put together a four game unbeaten streak which included an impressive 3-0 home victory against high flying Abingdon. Clearly the Magpies have the capability to beat anyone in the league so the Saltmen will have to be right on their mettle if they wish to preserve one of only 2 unbeaten step six records in the country.

After finally drying out following last week’s 3-0 win in the Tytherington monsoon, the Spa side looked to be in good shape at Thursday evening training. Quite why they were playing Netball remains unanswered but I’m sure the coaching staff know what they’re doing.

It should be an interesting afternoon at Kingys so why not come down and support the boys? And if we don’t win the football we can always challenge Stonehouse to game of rounders.

See you there.

Cheers
