Saturday's contest is also our junior development centre day and there will be various stalls being run to raise funds. There's likely to be plenty of cakes, sweets and other tasty eatables available!

A penalty shoot-out and a junior coaching demonstration are also going to be part of the afternoon's entertainment!

Junior players and parents/guardians attending with them should use the 2019/20 flexi-ticket books in their possession and present a ticket at the turnstiles to gain entry to the ground.

There will be a bucket collection taking place too to raise funds for @MindCharity

PREVIEW

Leiston make only their second visit to Stourbridge. The two clubs met for the first time last season and the Glassboys completed a league double over the East Suffolk outfit.

Stourbridge recorded a flattering 3 - 0 win away at Leiston last December before winning the return fixture here 4 - 0 in March.

After a goal-less first-half, Luke Benbow stepped up in the second period to hit a hat-trick of goals in the space of eleven minutes, including a trademark free-kick to break the deadlock. Greg Mills completed the scoring from another free-kick just before the final whistle.

It's been a tough 2019 so far for the visitors. A poor end to last season saw them slide down the table to finish 19th and they have suffered a tough start to the new campaign having been unable to build on an opening day 1 - 1 draw at home to Coalville Town. They bowed out of the Emirates FA Cup last Saturday at Ware FC with a 1 - 5 defeat.

Leiston are looking for a change of fortunes though and have drafted in three new faces in the last week or so as they seek some improved results.

The Glassboys will have to check on the fitness of Ashley Carter who hurt his ankle at Rushall on Tuesday night, but some good individual displays in that League Cup game mean that the management team have some tough selection decisions to make as several players were rested in midweek, but others staked their claim for more prominent involvement.
