The Brewers play the 2nd in a series of 3 consecutive away NCEL Premier games as they travel to Doncaster to play Armthorpe Welfare. Last Season, The Brewers won this fixture with a record breaking 10-0 victory, a Carl Stewart hat trick and a pair from Josh Barrett amongst the scorers. The league game at Tadcaster was a 5-0 home win towards the end of the season. The Wellie finished last season in 17th position in the table.
Armthorpe have done well in the FA Cup this season and will be playing AFC Liverpool away on Sunday in the first qualifying round. In the league, they have lost their last 5 games after an opening day 3-1 victory away at Pontefract Collieries. At the weekend, they were beaten 4-0 at home by Worksop Town. In their previous league game, Clipstone won 6-1 at Armthorpe. So they have 3 points from 6 games played to stand in 20th place in the table. The Brewers are 1 point ahead of Worksop Town at the top of the table, so with Worksop playing at home to Parkgate on Wednesday, a win on Tuesday for The Brewers is a must. A win like last year only comes along once in a while, but I will go for a 2-0 Brewers victory, maybe more if they strike early in the game. Your Sat Nav code for the game in DN3 3AG.
