FOLLOWING THE SALTMEN

Hellenic League Division One

29 March 2025

The Saltmen travel to Shortwood for their penultimate away game of the season, needing just one point to secure the title and automatic promotion to Step 5. At the same time, nearest rivals Redditch Borough entertain Abingdon. Should Boro fail to win, then the title goes to Droitwich, regardless of the score at Shortwood’s storied Meadowbank Stadium.

Droitwich have been in SPArkling form over recent weeks, with a run of six consecutive league wins starting back in February with a 3-1 victory against The Wood at Kingys. The other five wins were secured on the road including Tuesday night’s 4-0 win just up the road from Shortwood, at near neighbours Stonehouse.

United also won on Tuesday, beating Tytherington 2-1 at the Meadowbank. That result means they still have hopes of making the playoffs and will certainly give them plenty of motivation to rain on Spa’s parade or do something nasty to their chips.

We may be in for a rollercoaster ride but if the lads can reproduce Tuesday’s form, it could become a momentous day in Droitwich Spa FC history.

Chips and rollercoasters sounds like a good day out to me. Who would want to miss that!?

See you there.

Cheers

Steve
