On Saturday afternoon, The Brewers play at home to Barton Town Old Boys in their next NCEL League game.
On Tuesday evening, Barton Town OB went down to a 4-3 defeat away at fellow promotion chasers Handsworth Parramore. The following evening, The Brewers went down 2-1 at Staveley Miners Welfare, but we remain 2 points clear at the top of the NCEL Premier table. Staveley MW are now 10 points off the top of the table from the same games played, so they will have a big say in what happens from their remaining 14 games.
Barton Town Old Boys are currently in 10th place in the NCEL Premier League with 48 points from 27 games played. Away from home, they have won 7 of their 14 games played with one game drawn. The League game at Barton in September was won by The Swans 4-3 with The Brewers goals coming from Nick Black, Paddy Miller and a Jimmy Beadle penalty kick. Both league games last season were won 3-2 by the home team. Their leading goalscorer in all competitions is Gareth Owen with 15 goals.
Elsewhere on Saturday, Handsworth Parramore play at Garforth Town, Worksop Town and Bridlington Town meet at Sandy Lane whilst Cleethorpes Town travel to Staveley Miners Welfare. I expect a close exciting game with The Brewers coming out 3-2 winners to remain top of the table.
