Midland Premier League Weekend Preview

Here is this weekend's Midland Premier League preview written by Gary Hazelhurst.

  

League leaders Hereford have a fantastic opportunity to extend their lead as they have home games on Saturday and Monday. On Boxing Day, they welcome neighbours Westfields to Edgar Street with a Midland Football league record attendance almost certain. On Bank Holiday Monday, struggling Coventry Sphinx are the visitors with their second away game of the weekend following a trip to Bardon Hill on Boxing Day. 

 2nd placed Alvechurch travel to 6th placed Highgate United on Boxing Day, which has the making of a titanic struggle. There is a local derby at the Aspray Arena on Boxing Day as high-flying Sporting Khalsa entertain FA Vase heroes AFC Wulfrunians. Walsall Wood make the short journey to Dales Lane to face bottom club Continental Star who are fast becoming adrift of the rest. Two sides with mixed form meet at pack meadow as Coleshill Town welcome Stourport Swifts. At Grange Park, Long Eaton United welcome Brocton with both sides showing much improved form in recent weeks. 

On Bank Holiday Monday, Heanor Town look to bounce back from their defeat by Alvechurch with a home game against in form Loughborough University. The return from injury of Karl Demidh has made a big difference to Rocester and they will fancy their chances of picking up three points at Dunkirk. Lye Town pushed Hereford close last weekend and they welcome Boldmere St Michaels to the Black Country. Shepshed Dynamo have maintained a top 6 spot for most of the season and they welcome to lowly Quorn to the Dovecote.
