Video: Yeltz after a hat-trick of victories

Halesowen Town boss John Hill is searching for consistency from his side in the league.

They play Mickleover Sports, who they have already come up against twice this season, at the Grove tonight.

The Yeltz are ninth in the Evo-Stik Premier with eight wins, but they have just as many losses.

Hill said: "It's a tough league, each game is pretty nip and tuck, so consistency is the key.

"We've been winning and losing games so it would be nice to bring some consistency to our game, especially at home, but it will be tough against Mickleover.

"We've played them twice, they beat us comfortably at their place but we just beat them in the FA Cup, so it will be a close game."

Halesowen captain Jay Denny will not be available as he serves the first of his three-match suspension.

Former Walsall man Chris Westwood could return from injury, but fellow defender Joe Hull faces up to six weeks out with ankle ligament damage.

Hill added: "We released three players last week and signed a few. We've got a few injuries, we are a bit thin on the ground, but we'll be OK."

Halesowen got their second win in a week, beating Skelmersdale 2-1 at home to go ninth in the Northern Premier table.

Aaron Daniels and Reece Hales got the goals for the Yeltz, Skem captain Robert McIntosh reducing the deficit four minutes from time.
