Witton travel to Leicestershire on Saturday, to take on Barwell FC in an Evo-Stik Premier Division fixture. This will be the fifth meeting between the two clubs and all have been at Premier Division level, the third to be played at Kirkby Road Sports Ground, Albion have returned with maximum points from both of the previous two. The last game being in February 2015. Barwell have had a reasonable start to the season this time round, including a very good away victory at Marine and their last game turned into quite a goal-festival as they shared eight goals with Rushall Olympic. Witton have begun the season well having played four games and amassed eight points so far, pretty decent return with three of their first five games being on the road and their points haul might even have been better. Barwell have kept the basis of last season’s squad together and added goals in the form of much-travelled striker Ryan Robbins, so will always pose a threat but Witton’s defence and the determination have been strong in the early games so a difficult test is likely for both teams. Witton will be looking to continue their unbeaten start to the campaign but it will be far from easy. Kick off at Kirkby Road Sports Ground is 3pm.
