SIMON BARBY

We welcome FC Stratford to the BHP ground, where this local derby will be a good game.

Both teams are mid-table, fighting to climb the league, so this will be a tough game for both teams. We expect FC Stratford to try and come and play football, keep the ball, and come away with three points. However, Southam will be bouncing back from defeat, will have all players back from injury and illness, and we are looking strong on and off the pitch!

We do have gaffer Rich Kay away for this game, but Ryan Champkins, Lee Petch and Lee Walkinshaw to control the day We are in safe and capable hands! And we will get all three points and climb the league to get back on winning terms

Then we go again in the cup on Tuesday We need to put last Saturday's game behind us and make sure we bounce back from the 1-0 defeat

I know all the lads in the changing rooms will be right up there buzzing to get back out on the pitch and put it all right

I'd like to end by thanking all the staff and volunteers for all their help, and all the supporters who come and watch, and cheer us on, I really appreciate it!

So let's all have some drinks, enjoy some hot food and our hospitality.

Cheers capitano, Simon
