WELCOME

Good

afternoon and welcome to this Pitching In Southern League Division One Central match against Walthamstow.

A warm welcome to the players, officials and supporters of the Stow. We hope you enjoy the game and have a safe journey home this evening.

The visitors arrive in red hot form, having won 10 of their past 11 games. That streak has propelled them into a play-off place, and few would bet against them finishing in the play-off positions come the end of the season. Their game on Saturday was called off due to the weather, so they havent played a game since a 1-0 victory over Hadley on 4 March. In the previous game in October we suffered a cruel 97th minute 2-1 defeat.

They have also added to their squad this week, signing defender Caoilan McGettigan from Hadley, a team he only joined the month previously.

The Ducks will be looking to build on Saturday's 2-1 win at Kempston Rovers, before another busy fortnight of fixtures.

Our next match is another tough encounter, away against Hadley, another of the division's in-form sides. That's followed by what looks to be a crucial game against Highworth Town. Then we return The Meadow for another rescheduled game against AFC Dunstable, where tickets for the abandoned match will be valid. That's followed by fixtures against Waltham Abbey on Easter Saturday, and then a home fixture against Thame United on Easter Monday.

Come on you Ducks!
