It's a quick return to league action as we visit Barwell tomorrow night.
Barwell narrowly avoided relegation last season and have lost both of their opening games this season.
They wll be desperate to get a win.

It's match day and one of our shorter journeys to Leicestershire to take on Barwell. Something has to give as Barwell look for their first points and we look for our first win. In their opening two games Barwell lost 2-1 at home to Hitchin and 3-2 away at Bedford. Their average gate last season was 335.
There are two other games in our league tonight:
Kings Langley v Bedford
Redditch United v Stratford
and at Step 4 our Derbyshire neighbours Gresley Rovers visit Coleshill in the NPL Midlands Division
If you're going to the game, you can pay at the gate by cash or card.
Barwell FC @BarwellFC1992
Very pleased to say that we have card payments available on the gate this year for home matches!!

I'm not at the match so can't say too much but this was a match I thought we would win. Disappointing to be behind at half time. Hope we can turn itt round in the second half.
