As ever the Midland Premier League weekend preview is written by Gary Hazelhurst.
Ticket sales for the top of the table clash between Hereford and Alvechurch at Edgar Street indicate a league record crowd is possible. If the interaction between the two clubs on social media is anything to go by, it has the makings of a classic.
Weather permitting there is another game between two of the top 5 at the Dovecote as Shepshed Dynamo welcome Heanor Town. Dynamo haven’t played at home since November 7th and will be hoping for a break in the weather. 4th place Sporting Khalsa are still in the promotion battle and they will be expecting to pick up all three points at Dales Lane when they face bottom club Continental Star. Two sides in the top ten meet with Walsall Wood entertaining AFC Wulfrunians. Both sides are in decent form and this is a tough one to call. Two in-form sides meet at Silkmore Lane with free-scoring Loughborough University on the road to Brocton. Coleshill Town get back to league action after two cup defeats in the past week and visitors Bardon Hill will be happy to get on the park after numerous recent postponements.
Second bottom Dunkirk could climb out of the bottom two should they beat Boldmere St Michaels at The Ron Steel Sports ground. Coventry Sphinx are the side in danger of dropping into the bottom two but they have a home game against a stuttering Long Eaton United to lift them up the table. Quorn have slipped towards the foot of the table of late and they have a home game against Rocester. Highgate United have only played 17 games and they travel to Walshes Meadow to face Stourport Swifts. Westfields travel to Lye Town on the back of a morale boosting win over Walsall Wood.
