🔥 Ones to Watch

🔵 Boston Town

🤩 Jordan Tate – ‘Tatey’ delivered a standout Man of the Match performance last weekend, dominating the midfield and proving unplayable. He’ll be looking to replicate that display on Saturday.

💪 Luke Wilson – ‘Wilo’ found the net at the weekend and helped secure a second-half clean sheet. The Poachers are aiming for their first shutout in a month, and Wilson will play a crucial role in achieving that.

🔴 Kimberley Miners Welfare

👀 Lewis Weaver – With 9 goals in 22 appearances, Weaver is Kimberley’s danger man. The forward will be eager to add to his tally this weekend.

🗣 Manager’s Thoughts

“Saturday’s win was huge for us. The performances in the two weeks prior hadn’t yielded the points total I felt we deserved, so it was important to get back to winning ways – and the lads did that in style in the second half.

Every game is massive now as we look to keep our playoff push in our own hands. With this being our penultimate home match, a strong crowd would make a real difference. The support from the fans gives the lads that extra boost.”

📢 Final Thoughts

We’re at the business end of the season, where every point matters and teams are throwing everything at their survival or promotion push. After last weekend’s second-half performance, the Poachers will be aiming to build on that momentum and secure another crucial three points.

We need YOU to be the 12th man – let’s pack the Mortgages For You Stadium and roar the team on to victory!
