Match Preview

The Brewers continue their NCEL Premier campaign on Saturday with the visit of Nostell Miners Welfare. So far this season, The Welfare have gained 12 points from 14 games played to stand in 17th place in the table. Away from home, they have taken 8 points from 9 games played with wins at Bridlington Town and Cleethorpes Town back in August. They have played 2 league games in October drawing them both against Parkgate and Pontefract Collieries. This ended a losing run as they had lost their previous 6 league games.

Last season in the corresponding game at Tadcaster, The Brewers won 4-2 with 2 goals each from Calum Ward and Josh Greening. The game played on a Tuesday evening attracted a crowd of 176. Nostell were to end the season in 15th position to continue their run in the NCEL Premier as they have been members of the premier since 2007-08.

Last weekend in the NCEL Premier League, Worksop Town won 3-1 at Rainworth Miners Welfare, Barton Town Old Boys won 1-0 at home to Brigg Town and Cleethorpes Town won their 6th consecutive league game with a 4-0 home win against Parkgate,

Other games on Saturday in the league include Worksop Town at home to Barton Town Old Boys, so points to be dropped there by the pack. Cleethorpes Town travel to Pontefract Collieries and Athersley Recreation host Handsworth Parramore. A game that needs winning to stay on top of the table and keep the pressure on the pack below. I will go for a 2-0 win for The Brewers.
