Best ground in the league

,

After the postponement of our match at Kings Langley, we turn our attention to Tuesday evening's match at Hednesford. 

Second-from-bottom Hednesford Town did play and shared a 2-2 draw at the RACE Stadium against St Ives Town.
But it could have been worse as the Pitmen found themselves 2-1 down at the break.
The Saints took an early 4th-minute lead through Jonny Edwards.And that lead was doubled in the 28th minute when the hosts failed to clear a long throw and Kieran Higgs fired home the loose ball.
Hednesford pulled themselves back into the contest in the 37th minute when Riley-Cole O’Sullivan got on the end of a flick-on by player boss Danny Glover to score.
Hednesford had a great chance to equalise 7 minutes into the second half when St Ives were penalised for a shirt pull on Niah Payne in the area.The penalty was taken by Glover, who saw his effort saved by visiting `keeper James Dadge.
It was Glover’s latest signing who rescued his team – and saved his own blushes – when, 2 minutes into stoppage time, debutant Stefan Morley fired a free-kick into the top corner.
Hednesford still trail Kings Langley in 18th by a massive 10 points.

Morley Makes Point-Saving Debut for Pitmen
Pitching In Southern League Premier Division Central club Hednesford Town announced the arrival of two more players ahead of their draw with St Ives Town on Saturday.

Steph Morley Defender

Steph Morley joined the Pitmen from Vanarama National League North side Kettering Town and made a sensational debut – grabbing their last-gasp equaliser to earn a valuable point in their relegation battle.
The experienced 35-year-old Leicester-born defender re-joined the Poppies in October 2022 from league rivals Leamington. He had re-joined the Brakes in September 2019 from another National League North rival, AFC Telford United. He signed for the Bucks in June 2018, having left previous club Tamworth following their relegation. He also counts amongst his former clubs Hinckley United, Corby Town and Brackley Town, He played over 200 games in his first spell with Leamington – many as skipper and took his total appearances for the Brakes to almost 300 before returning to Kettering.
Another defender, Ben Kaninda, has arrived at the RACE Stadium on a month’s loan from League One side Wycombe Wanderers. The 19-year-old began his career with West Bromwich Albion’s academy before moving on to join Shrewsbury Town in 2020. The powerful centre-back then made the move to Wycombe at the beginning of the 2022/23 season, impressing on his debut for the club in a Papa Johns Trophy game against Tottenham Hotspur under-23’s.
