FOLLOWING THE SALTMEN

UhlSport Hellenic League, Premier Division

Saturday 11 October 2025

This Saturday sees The Saltmen return to the Forest of Dean for the second time in a fortnight. Last time, we escaped from Lydney with three points. But unlike their near neighbours, Cinderford don’t pretend to have a castle to attract visitors.

Actually, Cinderford sounds like my sort of place. Like my old home town, the area was built on coal mining. It also has Littledean, an historic prison (now a museum). Cinderford can also boast a tradition of iron works dating back to the thirteenth century. Clearly, the local population are no strangers to hard work.

Speaking of hard work, that is something the Spa side is going to need if they want to get anything out of the game. The home team sit just below the play off positions and have already recorded impressive victories over Pegasus and Corsham, two sides who have proved tricky opponents for Spa.

The lads appreciate the amazing travelling support this season so why not travel down to Gloucestershire and give em a cheer.

See you there.

Cheers
