FOLLOWING THE SALTMEN

Preview: Carterton FC v Droitwich Spa FC

Hellenic League Division One. 15th March 2025

Top of the table Droitwich travel to bottom of the table Carterton on Saturday. Spa’s last two league games both ended in 6-1 away wins. When the clubs met at Kingys, earlier in the season, Spa ran out comfortable winners. Droitwich are the division’s top scorers and Carterton have conceded the most goals. On paper there should only be one winner….but as the great Jimmy Greaves said, Football’s a funny old game.

With six games left, Spa need 11 more points to be certain of winning the title. Carterton still have three games left and the nine available points could lift them out of the drop zone – especially if the Southam situation were to mean only 2 clubs will be relegated. There is plenty to motivate our hosts.

Securing those last few points at this stage of the season can feel like wading through treacle. I’m sure the players would welcome as much support as possible. The weather forecast for Saturday is good, so why not have a scenic drive through the Cotswolds and then cheer the Saltmen on to victory.

See you there.

Cheers

Steve
