The Saltmen will face the Bears in a rearranged Uhlsport Hellenic League Division 1 fixture on Tuesday (October 29), with kick-off at 7.45pm.

This match marks the first-ever league meeting between the two clubs, who narrowly missed each other in Midland Football League Division 2.

In their only previous friendly, Droitwich came out on top with a score of 5-2.

Stratford, promoted to the league in the 2021-22 season, has finished in the top half of the table ever since, currently sitting in sixth place, just one point outside the play-offs.

The team achieved their best run in the FA Vase this season by reaching the first Round proper before being eliminated by Kirby Muxloe.

Their recent form has been mixed, with six wins from 12 games.

Their last league victory came on Saturday, October 12 against Bewdley Town.

Droitwich enters the match unbeaten in the league, boasting 10 wins and one draw from eleven games.

A victory on Tuesday would give them an eight-point lead at the top of the table.

The Saltmen's attacking front three—Alex Dugmore with 18 goals, Perry Moss with 17, and Josh Hurdman with 11—have been in excellent form.

Remarkably, Droitwich has not failed to score since January 14, 2023.

Manager Andy Crowther is pleased with the return of experienced players James Lemon and Matt Williams, who came off the bench during Saturday's thrilling 5-3 win at Wantage Town.

Droitwich are expected to have nearly a full squad available, although Niall Doherty, Callum Green, and Sam Hurdman remain out.

Supporters are encouraged to attend the match in nearby Warwickshire, which is the last scheduled mid-week game of the season.

However, due to road closures, fans should plan their travel accordingly, using alternative routes to the Arden Garages Stadium.

Admission is £6 for adults, £4 for concessions, and free for under-12s.
