Stourbridge boss calls for run

Stourbridge boss Gary Hackett has primed his side for the promotion run-in by warning: "They're all big games now".

Stourbridge won at Buxton for the second time in a week to add an FA Trophy win to their FA Cup victory.

The Glassboys take on fifth-placed Bishop's Cleeve tomorrow after a week off which has seen their squad return to full strength.

And although Stourbridge have slipped to sixth through inactivity they can steal a big march on their promotion rivals with a win.

Hackett is looking for his team to bounce back refreshed and ready to make an impact.

"It's a big game, of course it is because of the respective league positions.

"I'm just looking for us to go on a run now because if you do that in this league you will get there or thereabouts," he said.

"Every single time we play from now until the end of the season will be a big game because we're in the promotion mix with quite a few other sides."

Apart from long-term injury victims Adam Bastable and Mark Bellingham, Stourbridge have a full compliment of players to pick from.
