Lye aim to get back on track as they hit the road
Lye Town Ladies should snap their winless streak in the West Midlands Premier as they travel to rock-bottom City of Stoke tomorrow.
Lye, who are fourth in the table, are three without victory in the league having suffered back-to-back defeats to leaders Lichfield City before a goalless draw with Coventry Sphinx.
This encounter at City of Stoke, who have only won once this term, offers them the chance to get back on track as they look to finish the season in solid fashion.
Kidderminster Harriers are in West Midlands Premier Cup action, going to Coventry Sphinx in the semi-finals. The other semi sees Stourbridge, who beat Lye in the last round, head to Sutton Coldfield Town.

Albion have also added to their squad ahead of their trip to Sheffield, with Jade Arber returning to the club.
Arber had previously netted 25 goals in 33 games over two seasons for the Baggies before moving to Nottingham Forest last year.
“I’m delighted to be given the opportunity to play in Albion colours again,” said Arber
“I can’t wait to get started and hopefully help the team move forward and progress. There are lots of talented girls here and there’s a good energy in training between the team and the management – I’m excited to be part of it.”
