Hellenic League Premier Division 3pm, Saturday 5th September, 2026 Venue: The Secure Stadium, Lacock Road, Corsham, SN13 9HS The Saltmen continue their Hellenic League campaign on Saturday as they travel to Wiltshire to play Corsham Town. Inspired by Ian McMillan (Poet in Residence at Barnsley FC) I’ve written a short poem to mark the occasion:…

Hellenic League, Premier Division Monday 31st August 2026 Attendance: 206 Matchday Teamsheet It’s fair to say that following the Saltmen during July and August has, at times, been hard work. Not hard work like that done by the Soviet coal miners who worked in almost impossible conditions to dig under the damaged nuclear reactor at…

Hellenic League Premier Division 3.00pm – Monday 31 August 2026 at Kingys It’s bank holiday weekend and, just like Ryan Giggs, the games come thick and fast. Today we welcome near neighbours and former temporary landlords, the Stourport Swifts to Kingys for the first big Worcestershire derby of the season. Neither side has set the…

Hanley Town v Droitwich Spa FA Cup Preliminary Round Potteries Park. Saturday 22 August 2026 The Saltmen take to the road today as their dreams of a cup final at Wembley next spring remain a very real possibility. They travel up the M5 and M6 to face Step Four Hanley Town of the Northern Premier…

Friday 07/08/2026 OK, it might be a while until it’s included in the GCSE syllabus but it was certainly a momentous evening for the Saltmen as they recorded their first ever win in the FA Cup. The game also saw Spa score their first goals under the management of Quentin Townsend. That they were scored…

Dudley Town v Droitwich Spa FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round 7.45 Kickoff. Friday 7th August 2026 At: Guardian Warehousing Arena, Noose Lane, Willenhall, WV13 3BB The Saltmen travel north this evening to face Dudley Town FC in the FA Cup. This is Spa’s second appearance in the Cup but it is certainly not the Robins…

Hellenic League Premier Division Tuesday 4th August 2026. Kick off: 7.45pm The Saltmen play their home opener at Kingys this evening as they renew acquaintances with Cinderford Town. It’s fair to say that the men from the Forest of Dean had the better of last season’s encounters. A ding dong meeting in Cinderford ended in…

The Saltmen suffered a narrow single goal defeat to Roman Glass in their first league match without the guidance of Andy Crowther. Around 50 or 60 Spa fans made the trip to North Bristol for this game, keen to see how the personnel changes of the summer would affect the Saltmen’s on-field potential. Some supporters…

Hands up who cares more about corporate hospitality than football. Step forward Malvern Town FC. No criticism of Worcester United but their landlords really need to up their game. No bar, no food, you couldn’t even get a coffee or a bottle of water. In an act that would have had Basil Fawlty cringing in…

Saturday 11 July 2026 at 3pm Stratford Road, Alcester, Warwickshire, B49 6LN After two encouraging performances against Step 4 opponents at Bishops Cleeve and Slimbridge, the Saltmen today take the short trip to Hellenic League Division One side Alcester. The Romans had a good season last year, firmly establishing their place in this extremely competitive…

Kayte Lane Stadium, Bishops Cleeve, GL52 3PD Saturday 4th July, 2026 at 3.00pm. That’s right! Proper football is back. It may only be two months since over a thousand people swarmed to Kingys to witness the fateful play-off final but it seems a lot longer to me. That might have a lot to do with…

Tonight at Kingys you get the chance to put your questions to the great and good at Droitwich Spa FC. So, if you’ve always wanted to quiz Quent, roast Lamb, bug Bowen or drill Dan, this is your chance. FLT understands that the Geneva Convention will prevent waterboarding Wayne but other than that, it’s pretty…

Monday 29th June 2026 7.00pm at the Clubhouse, Kingys The club invites all supporters to attend a Q&A session with the Directors and the new Management team. This is intended as a ‘no-holds-barred’ opportunity to ask whatever you want, whether it be an on field or off-field matter. See you there. Cheers FTS

A Quick Catch-Up I usually get bored during the summer. Yes, the weather’s warmer, the days are longer and, if you’re lucky you get to go on holiday. All these things are great. So far this summer, we’ve redecorated a bedroom, laid an Italianate patio, been to Snowdonia during a heatwave and ridden the FTS…

That’s right. Following the Saltmen is currently enjoying a stress busting week in scorching (yes, really) Snowdonia. We will be using the time to finalise this season’s Waynies – the only football awards more coveted than the Balloon Door. In the meantime, here’s a photo of one of the rarest pieces of sports memorabilia ever.…

Hellenic League Premier Division 18 April 2026 It’s been a hell of a ride this season. More ups and downs than Longlevens’ pitch! And it’s not over yet. Today sees the Saltmen welcome our friends from Mangotsfield for the final game of the regular season. Spa will be hoping for a repeat of the win…

Hellenic League Premier Division 14 April 2026; Allpay Park Attendance: 109 It’s an hour drive from Droitwich to Hereford but for some reason it always feels longer. If there was a nice, straight dual carriageway and a couple of tunnels it would halve the travel time. But after staring at the back of a delivery…

Westfields FC v Droitwich Spa Hellenic League Premier Division 14 April 2016, Allpay Park. Football is often referred to as the Beautiful Game. That’s usually in reference to superstars like Cruyff, Pele, Messi and Batty but it can also refer to the playing surface. If, like me, you are a connoisseur of such things then…

Hellenic League Premier Division 11 April 2026 The Saltmen faced a steep uphill task at the start of this Hellenic League Premier fixture. Not only was this the closest away fixture of the season but also the opposition are keen contenders for one of the four playoff places. Then there was the pitch itself. The…

Hellenic League Premier Division Saturday 11 April, 2026 That’s right. The away trip we’ve looked forward to all season has finally arrived as we travel three miles down the Worcester Road to take on our nearest rivals, the Worcester Raiders at the Claines Lane ground. The more senior members of Salt Nation will probably remember…

Hellenic League Premier Division Saturday 4th April 2026 Saw Mills End, GL4 3DG The next stop on the Saltmen’s tour of Gloucestershire is this afternoon’s game at Longlevens. I’ve never seen Saw Mills End but then I don’t hang around with former Radio 2 DJs! It looks like a decent ground and having an hotel…

Slimbridge 3-0 Droitwich Spa Hellenic League Premier Division 31 March 2026 It was always going to be the most challenging game of the season and so it proved. Slimbridge weren’t three goals better than Spa. But they were better. In fact, when they are in full flow, they look comfortably the best team we have…

Slimbridge v Droitwich Spa Hellenic League Premier Division 31 March 2026 In the words of the late James Brown “Paid the Cost to be the boss.” Well, The Saltmen paid the cost on Sunday in the narrow cup final defeat to Hereford Pegasus. Now it’s time for them to be the boss. Droitwich travel to…

Hereford Pegasus 3-2 Droitwich Spa Hellenic League Challenge Cup Final Sunday 29 March 2026 at Hereford Pegasus FC Attendance: 612 It was the final that shouldn’t have been, in pretty much every sense. Spa were there by default having been reprieved from elimination from the competition purely by virtue of the honesty of Tuffley Rovers.…

Hellenic League Challenge Cup Final Droitwich Spa v Hereford Pegasus 29 March 2026 At…..erm…. Hereford Pegasus , 4.30 pm That’s right, it’s Elle MacPherson’s birthday. It’s also Eric Idle’s birthday and Brendan Gleeson. The sixty seventh anniversary of the premier of Some Like it Hot might also be of interest too. Oh, and it’s exactly…

Droitwich Spa v Cirencester Town Hellenic League Premier Division 17 March 2026 Back in late November we travelled to Cirencester and after 45 minutes we were 1-0 up. After 90 minutes, and a horrific pint of 0% Kronenberg, we were 5-1 down….and so wet that we must have looked a bit ridiculous. As movie mogul…

Hellenic League Premier Division 14 March 2026 We are not sure why but Jaddy G, one of our regular drivers to away fixtures, is currently overseas. It’s all a bit hush, hush. I’ve heard it suggested he has taken up a vacant post as trade envoy, with a specific interest in licensed victuallers. Others have…

Final to be played at Finalist’s Home Ground? As you probably already know, the Saltmen have reached the final of the Hellenic League Challenge Cup. They will face Hereford Pegasus who beat Worcester Raiders 4-0 to make the final. It seems strange then that the final will be played at Hereford Pegasus. As far as…

The Cup Formerly Known As The Marsh Challenge Cup (TCFKATMCC) Semi Final Saturday 7th March 2026, Thornhill Park Attendance: 172 The Kop Such is the resilience of the current Spa squad, that not even the slight inconvenience of getting knocked out of the competition in an earlier round has prevented them from marching imperiously to…

Droitwich Spa 5-2 Fairford Town Challenge Cup Quarter Final 24 February 2026 Attendance – 137 It’s getting very fashionable these days to be stripped of your title. And you don’t need to be friends with a billionaire sex trafficker – although I understand it helps speed the process up. The latest thing to lose its…

24 February 2026 Challenge Cup Quarter Final At Kingys Weather permitting, the Saltmen welcome Fairford Town to Kingys this Tuesday, 24th February. As you may recall, Droitwich progressed to the Quarter Final stage of the competition despite losing 2-1 away at Tuffley Rovers. Unfortunately for them, Tuffley unwittingly fielded a player who had already played…

Lydney Town 2 – 0 Fairford Town Hellenic League Premier Division 21 February 2026 at Sansom Park, Lydney February 2026 has been a bit of a non-event in Salt Nation. A combination of gaps in the fixture list and a couple of monsoon related postponements has left us without a game since beating Cribbs at…

As the weather has been wetter than an early 80s Tory Cabinet meeting, tomorrow’s game at Kingys has been postponed until the rain has stopped. Here’s Brian with sports news….. Droitwich Spa v Lydney Town Hellenic League Premier Division Saturday 7th February 2026 at 3pm Those of you who subject themselves to our match previews…

Hellenic League Premier Division. Kingys – 31 January 2026 Attendance: 167 The combination of a fine performance by a makeshift Spa line-up and some eyebrow raising results elsewhere, saw the Saltmen return to the top of the Hellenic League Premier Division. Given the weather conditions in Worcestershire over recent days there had been a little…

Hellenic League Premier Division 3pm on 17 January 2026 Today we welcome players, officials from Cinderford Town to Kingys. The Hellenic League has just announced a fresh new finale to the season so it’s important that Spa maintain their impressive recent form. While some might think the League announcement is little more than confirming the…

Wiseman Lighting Floodlit Cup – 12 January 2026 Claines Lane The world of football was shocked to the core this week. Not by the Saltmen’s exit from the Wiseman Lighting Floodlit Cup. No, but by the news that Rep[ of Ireland and Barnsley’s very own legend, Mick McCarthy has recorded a song with Linda Martin.…

Hellenic League Premier Division 10 January 2026 Attendance: 355 Such was the draw of this away game, we had to double up on the number of cars our little band of Saltmen took down the M5 in search of yet more glory. So I fired up the Saltmobile, collected Jaddy and Don and headed into…

Hellenic League Premier Division 3pm, Saturday 10th January 2026 Cossham Street Stadium, Mangotsfield, BS16 9EN In my little world there are two Man Uniteds and both of them have recently parted company with a senior member of their coaching team (Don’t call it Manager! – Ed). One of the clubs will probably have to lay…

Hallen FC 0-1 Droitwich Spa UhlSport Hellenic League Premier Division 3rd July 2026 The new year started with The Saltmen making the now familiar trip down the M5 to the northern suburbs of Bristol. It’s not been a particularly happy hunting ground this season after being held to a score draw at Cribbs and losing…

It has been brought to our attention that there may have been an insignificant typo in our preview of last Saturday’s game at Royal Wootton Bassett. Apparently, we may have referred to the prestigious Marsh Challenge Cup as the ‘Who Cares Cup.’ This is clearly incorrect and we really are very sorry. It seems we…

Royal Wootton Bassett 2-2 Droitwich Spa UhlSport Hellenic League, Premier Division 20 December 2025 There are many who believe former Chancellor Otto von Bismarck to be the greatest ever German. My sixth form History tutor, Charles Rothwell, certainly thought so. It’s hard to disagree, although I’d have to say former Bayern Munich and West German…

UhlSport Hellenic League Premier Division 20 December 2025 – New Gerrard Buxton Sports Village The Saltmen return to league action after bowing out of the Who Cares Cup last weekend, with a trip to Royal Wootton Bassett Football Club. Spa edged the ‘best of three’ reverse fixture at Kingys in October against a young RWBFC…

Following the Saltmen is sorry to hear that Joe Clayton has left Droitwich Spa. The versatile player came through Spa’s junior system and became a key member of the 24/25 promotion season. His ability and adaptability soon won the hearts of the Saltmen faithful putting in a string of great performances. We are still to…

UhlSport Hellenic League Premier Division 6th December 2025 at Cinders Lane, Fairford Attendance: 85 The Saltmen returned to Droitwich on Saturday evening with three points from this away fixture. Any victory away from home is to be savoured but this one will last in the memory longer than many. Today’s adventure started at 12.40 when…

Fairford Town v Droitwich Spa Saturday 6th December Cinder Lane, Fairford, GL7 4AX According to its town council, Fairford is renowned not only for its picturesque Cotswold stone buildings, Grade I listed church and tranquil riverside setting rich with wildlife, perfect for both hikes and leisurely strolls, but also for its vibrant calendar of events…

Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division 22 November 2025. Attendance: 110 In yesterday’s match preview, I suggested this game would be a stern test. Well, I didn’t expect it to be one that would be failed in such dramatic fashion. The afternoon started well enough. As this week’s designated driver FTS collected passengers, Don Judley and…

Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division The Corinium Stadium, GL7 1HS 3pm, Saturday 22nd November 2025 The Saltmen travel down the M5 and A417 to face Cirencester Town in the Premier Division later today.

Wiseman Lighting Floodlit Cup Third Round Tuesday 18 November 2025 WILDSMITH MEADOW, MALSWICK, NEWENT, Gloucestershire GL18 1HE Spa enter the Wiseman Lighting Floodlit Cup at the third round stage when they visit the Daffs of Newent Town on Tuesday 18 November 2025. Last season the Saltmen did the double over tomorrow’s hosts; winning 6-2 at…

UhlSport Hellenic League Premier Division Saturday 15 November 2025 Attendance: 160 I’ve mentioned the naming of weather systems in previous posts. It’s unnecessary and childish. And stupid! Apparently the storm which swept across the region last week was called Claudia. What a wasted opportunity that was. Surely, Cloudier would have been better than Claudier. They…

UhlSport Hellenic League Premier Division Saturday 8th November 2025 Attendance: 276 The Saltmen closed the gap on league leaders Roman Glass St George following an impressive win over the Plums of Pershore Town, in the Wychavon derby at Kingys. Sadly, the game is likely to be remembered for a terrible looking injury to visitors’ centre…

Season 2025/2026

I don’t know what is going on with our editorial team but I can see the FTS Man of the Match was missing from the match report. Anywho, I can exclusively reveal that this week’s award goes to Jack Davies. A Herculean effort from fan favourite JD who covered every blade of grass. Great work…

The Saltmen bowed out of the FA Vase in round one after a disappointing defeat at step 6 Radford FC. I thought I would try something new this week. A quick match report , written on the coach back from Nottingham. But it didn’t work. That may have been because the brand new leather appointed…

FA Vase, First Round 18 October 2025 The Spa return to Cup football this Saturday 18 October when they travel to Nottingham to take on Radford in the first round proper (accept no imitation) of the Isuzu FA Vase. So strictly speaking it’s Vase football, rather than Cup football, but you know what I mean.…

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…

Worcestershire County Cup 07 October 2025 The Saltmen marched through to the next round of the County Cup after an impressive 2-0 win over Step Four SC Inkberrow at Kingys on Tuesday evening. Spa were the front runners from minute one. The ever alert Perry Moss was first to react to a ball in behind…

Hellenic League Premier Division 04 October 2025 It’s much easier to write about a subject when events have been really good or really bad. Today was neither. There were some very good bits and some inexplicably bad bits but largely an enjoyable game to watch. Royal Wootton Bassett Town are a young side. Chatting with…

Hellenic League Premier Division Saturday 4th October 2025 Spa return to Kingys this afternoon and welcome players, officials and supporters travelling up from Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire. Town currently sit 17th in the table with 8 points from 11 games. Their top scorer this season is Ben Cleary with 7 goals. Sadly for them, the…

Hellenic League Premier Division 27 Sept 2025 at The Recreation Ground, Lydney Lydney Castle. Not in Lydney. Imagine our disappointment after travelling many miles through the night, to arrive in Lydney only to discover that the main reason for our travels was just a sham; a cheap ruse to boost tourism in one of the…

Hellenic League Premier Division 27 September 2025 Back on the road on Saturday with a trip down to the West Bank of the River Severn. Not a trip to Great Whitley though, but down the M5 and A48 to the jewel of the Forest of Dean, Lydney. For those of you who may not have…

Hellenic League Premier Division 20 September 2025. Attendance: 196 ….You make Lemon-aid! It is probably fair to say that the last couple of years have not gone exactly how club skipper James Lemon might have hoped. A number of fairly lengthy injury breaks have restricted his number of starts. When fit, the man who many…

Hellenic League Premier Division 20 September 2025. Kick off at Kingys – 3pm It’s first versus second in this early season six-pointer at the top of the Hellenic Premier Division, as we welcome the players, officials and supporters of table topping Roman Glass St George to Kingys. The Glass have recorded an impressive seven consecutive…

Cribbs FC 1-1 Droitwich Spa We here at FTS enjoyed our first trip to Cribbs FC on Saturday. Hold ups on the M5 meant we missed our usual spot of cultural enlightenment at a pub near our opponents’ home and we made straight for the ground. It looks like Cribbs share their facilities with a…

Hellenic League Premier Division, 5th September 2025 The Lawns, Station Road, Henbury, Bristol, BS10 7TB Saturday sees the Saltmen back on the road.

Droitwich Spa 3-0 Hallen AFC HellenicLeague Premier Division. 30 August 2025 This afternoon’s game saw Spa return to the top of the Hellenic League Premier division with a win over our guests from the Bristol suburbs.

Got to be a typo! See if you can spot it. Cheers FTS

Match Report Hellenic League, Premier Division 25 August 2025 What a difference six days makes. From plumbing the depths of despair to grabbing a pair against the Plums. It’s been a hell of week following the Saltmen! Leaving aside the fact that three games in six games during August is absolute madness, Spa have been…

Following The Saltmen has been advised by sources close to the club that a number of our recent articles have misspelled Mr Rudd’s name.

Hellenic League Premier Division 23 August 2025 The Save on Tyres Stadium It’s a bit of a treck from Droitwich to Highworth, especially on a Bank Holiday Saturday.

Kick off 3.00pm The men from north Gloucester make the (relatively) short trip up the M5 with one win from their 4 league games; a convincing 5-1 opening day thrashing of Lydney. Spa…

Kingys. 12 August 2025 After successive wins over Westfields and Thornbury, the Saltmen came into this Tuesday night fixture on a bit of a run. I don’t think anyone expected a repeat of the five goal win over Westfields and it was clear from minute one that Fairford had not come to Kingys just to…

Droitwich Spa v Fairford Town 12.08.2025 Hellenic League Premier Division With league fixtures coming thick and fast, the Saltmen welcome Fairford Town to Kingys this evening. The visitors have played three Hellenic Premier games so far, claiming two points from draws with Slimbridge and Highworth. Spa have six points from their own three games, following…

Match Report Racing Club Warwick 2 – 1 Droitwich Spa FA Cup – 02 August 2025 If there was anyone left in Droitwich yesterday afternoon, then it must have been quiet. It seemed like half of the town had taken a drive to Warwick to see the Saltman make their debut in the world’s favourite…

28 July 2025 (Yes, July!) Pegged Back If I’d been asked just before kick off whether I would be happy if the boys scored four goals in the game, I would have taken that gratefully. Going away from home and scoring four goals in the first game of the season would usually see you taking…

Ribbesford Meadow, Saturday 19 July 2025 There can be few better places in the country to watch two teams prepare for a new season than Ribbesford Meadow. On the banks of the River Severn, ambling lazily south into central Worcestershire, the Saltmen faced a Bewdley Town…

Pre-season Game. 12 July 2025. As I may have mentioned in an earlier post, that a family holiday in Cornwall means I am missing The Saltmen’s games against Smethwick Rangers and Kidderminster Harriers. Nevertheless, my commitment to quality journalism remains firm and, like the Droitwich Standard, I won’t let not actually seeing the game prevent…

Pre Season game. Tuesday 8th July Arrow Valley Sports Centre, Redditch I’ve never really understood the idea of a ‘friendly’ match. It suggests that both teams are playing at less than 100%. In my, admittedly, limited sporting career I always played with maximum effort. Whether it was a cup final or a kick around with…

Tuesday 8th July, 2025. Kick off: 7.45pm Venue Address: Arrow Vale, Matchborough Way, Redditch, B98 0GF Following Saturday’s impressive performance at Studley, The Saltmen return to pre-season action on Tuesday 8th July against an Alcester Town side recently promoted to Step 6. Sadly, the game will NOT be at Alcester Town Football Club but will…

Pre-season Game Spa returned to action today for the first time since lifting the trophy on the last game of the 2024-2025 season. This pre-season game pitted the Saltmen against long established Midland Premier League team Studley FC. We arrived at the Beehive about an hour before kick off. A lot has changed at the…

There’s absolutely nothing else going on this…

Football is officially back. Forget the UEFA Under 10s thing. Forget the shambolic World Club Championship (sponsored by GreedIsUs Inc).
