Tomorrow afternoon Darlaston face the first of two games against teams currently in the top three of the Division.

Firstly we visit third placed Vauxhall Motors at their Elsmere Port ground, and on Wednesday evening Avro travel to the Paycare Stadium.

Vauxhall Motors are in excellent form having won the last five consecutive fixtures with home wins over Sporting Khalsa (4-0) and Mossley (2-1) and away wins over Trafford (2-1), Stafford Rangers (4-2) and last Saturday Nantwich Town (5-3).

Recent form has seen them rise to third in the table having played 21 games, won 10, drawn 7 and lost 4 so far this season, and they are three points behind second place Avro who have played two games less.

The Motormen travelled to The Paycare Stadium in mid September, Vauxhall Motors winning 2-1. Darlaston opened the scoring after 14 minutes with a James Roland goal and the second half saw a rejuvenated Vauxhall Motors take three points. They equalised after 52 minutes with an exceptional Finley Heath free kick and the second game from top scorer Joe Malkin with a finish from inside the six yard box.

Darlaston’s young squad will face a huge test tomorrow at VanEupen Arena. And they go into tomorrow’s game with the possible addition of two new players to the squad following Tuesday nights 3-0 defeat at Enterprise National League Tamworth in the Birmingham Senior Cup.

Darlaston’s recent results certainly does not tell the whole story of their performance and hopefully, which has been steadily improving over recent weeks and tomorrow will be an excellent test of how far they have come since the early part of the season.
