Stafford Rangers v Clitheroe

Preview

First team action finally returns to the Stan Robinson Stadium on Tuesday night as we entertain Clitheroe F.C in the NPL Division West.

After four weeks and a run of seven consecutive away games, the Boro’ will be looking to bounce back from Saturday’s FA Trophy disappointment and record a first home win of the campaign.

The Opposition

Standing in the Rangers way will be Clitheroe, who have made a solid start in the league, with 7 points from their first four games, and sit 10th in the table.

Currently managed by former Accrington Stanley assistant Jimmy Bell, the Lancashire side will provide the Boro’ a tough test as they look to build on last season’s 7th placed finish. Saturday saw the Blues progress in the FA Trophy, thanks to a penalty shootout win away at NPL East side Brighouse Town. Veron Parny opened the scoring for the visitors before a late equaliser sent the tie to spotkicks.

Team News

Defender Ben O’Hanlon comes into contention for a return to first team action following injury, whilst Manager Dave Cooke hinted on Saturday the possibility of new faces to help ease the pressure on a stretched squad.
