Witton return to the U Lock It Stadium on Saturday afternoon when they welcome Kidsgrove Athletic in a Northern Premier League West Division fixture.
Currently sitting in fourteenth place in the table, Witton have shown an improvement in recent weeks, losing only one of their last seven games.
Two draws on the road at Sporting Khalsa and Trafford respectively in the last two weeks have been encouraging although, there will be disappointment in allowing a two-goal advantage to slip at Sporting.
The two teams played out a 1-1 draw at the Fitzjohn Stadium earlier in the season with Tom Hoyle giving Witton the lead with around twenty minutes to go, before Jack Bromfield levelled things for Grove in the final ten minutes.
The game also sees the return of former Albion striker Tom Pope as part of the management team alongside Matt Rhead, and he will be looking to pose problems for his former employers.
Grove arrive at the U Lock It Stadium one place below Witton in the table, level on points but with two games in hand, having won once in their last four games when beating Atherton Collieries.
There have been no shortage of goals in recent Kidsgrove games, with them conceding nine goals in the past three matches, so there’s hope for an entertaining game.
The form of Joe Duckworth in recent weeks has been pivotal to Albion’s progress with goals in each of his last four games but, the team as a whole have become stronger and perhaps should have had more points than they have.
The form of on loan midfielder Alfie Bairstow has also been encouraging and has played a major part in Witton’s upturn in form.
Another tough game is to be expected and Witton will have to continue in the same vain if they are to carry on the recent good form they have shown.
Kick off at the U Lock It Stadium is 3pm.
