Preview

Easter Monday sees the return of ‘El-Staffico’, as Stafford Rangers welcome title chasing neighbours Hednesford Town, to the Stan Robinson Stadium in the penultimate game of the NPL West season.

In what promises to be a massive Bank Holiday clash, in front of the Boro’s biggest crowd for a number of years, local bragging rights are at stake as the curtain comes down on the Rangers’ home league campaign.

 

The Opposition

With just 2 games remaining, local rivals Hednesford find themselves in 2nd position, after a remarkable run of form which has seen them win 15 out of their last 20 matches and claw back to within a solitary point of league leaders Widnes.

Manager Gavin Hurren has overseen a huge upturn in form since replacing Steve King in November, with his side reeling in the teams above them to emerge as serious title contenders.

On Good Friday, the Pitmen briefly hit the summit after recording a 2-0 home win against Mossley, goals from Dom McHale and Jake Jervis securing the points required to take the race for the title to the last week of the season.

On Boxing Day the two Staffordshire rivals battled it out in thick fog, with the Pitmen eventually coming out on top 4-2. After taking the lead twice through John Atherton and James O’Neill, the Boro’ eventually succumbed to the home sides’ late pressure to leave Keys Park empty handed.
