Stourbridge hoping to kickstart their season
Stourbridge hope to jumpstart their home form by beating bottom-of-the-league Biggleswade Town, writes Dan Hickey.
The Glassboys are third in the Southern League Premier Central, four points off first-place Kettering Town who beat them in their last league fixture.
Manager Liam McDonald said: “Our home form hasn’t been great, so we want to make sure we put in a good performance.
“Ultimately, this stage of the season, it's about winning games and trying to get on that winning run and building that confidence.”
Biggleswade go into the match as clear underdogs. They sit rock-bottom with one win all season. McDonald, however, won’t underestimate his opposition.
“They’ve beat some big clubs already this season and took some of the bigger clubs to the wire, so we know it's going to be difficult.”
