Preview: Droitwich Spa v Abingdon Utd

Hellenic League Division One.

18 January 2025

On Saturday, Kingys will host Spa’s third consecutive game against opponents in the playoff places. The last two have been settled by the odd goal in one and the odd goal in eleven respectively. It would take a brave person to suggest the forthcoming game will anything other than a close affair as well.

Abingdon represent another stern test for your heart stopping, table topping Saltmen. United were the first team to take points from Spa this season, when the two met at Northcott Road back in September. While it’s fair to say that Spa started the game with five first team regulars unavailable and then played for over an hour with 10 men, it was clear that Abingdon are a quality outfit capable of playing excellent football.

Spa are pretty good too!

Another double figure aggregate score cannot be guaranteed but if you are of a nervous disposition you might want to bring extra medication with you. Alternatively, you could try something from either of the two bars, the snack hut or the food van available at the ground.

Abingdon are a well supported club and we look forward to welcoming our off field visitors from Oxfordshire to Kingys. Hopefully, matters on the field will be slightly less accommodating.

See you there.

Cheers

Steve
