MATCH PREVIEW - Cup Action Returns to Brinsford Stadium Tomorrow with the Visit of Stafford Town for a Second Round Edward Case Cup tie

Simon Cox

Casuals now have three cup fixtures in eight days & two of those three games are away from home at Lichfield City & next Saturday FC St. Helens

Its all change for Wolverhampton Casuals on Saturday, as once again they return to cup action for the next three fixtures after going joint top of the league following their 2-1 win over New Mills on Wednesday evening.

Casuals now face the three cup games in eight days, tomorrow we welcome Stafford Town to Brinsford Stadium followed by a trip to the Community Stadium home of Lichfield City on Wednesday evening for a Staffs F.A. Senior Challenge Cup tie and next Saturday a trip to F.C. St. Helens awaits for a Macron Cup tie.

Tomorrow’s game is a important one for both clubs in the Edward Case Cup, in the first-round Stafford Town beat Allscott Heath 2-1 at their Evans Park home and Wolverhampton Casuals had a successful mid-week trip to Cheadle Heath Nomads returning with a 2-1 win thanks to goals from Declan Hutchins and Keiran Cooke’s spectacular 94th minute winner.

Both clubs have already met this season, not in league fixtures, they are due to be played in the New Year Bank Holiday period and in March, but in the Staffordshire Senior Challenge Cup. Casuals travelled to Evans Park less than four weeks ago beating their hosts 4-0 thanks to a Callum Knowles opener and a Jack Sang hat-trick. Since that fixture, whilst Casuals have gone from strength to strength and remain unbeaten, Stafford have played three games drawing at Shawbury United (1-1) beating Telford Town at home (3-1) followed by last Saturday a 4-1 loss at in form A.F.C. Bridgnorth.

Danger men for Stafford are Callum Parker and Eshan Grear who have both scored seven goals each. Sam Lynch is next with six followed by Patryk Mazurkiewicz who has scored five times. Clear leader in the man of the match nominations is Chasetown youngster Daniel Clarkson with four nominations so far.

It is a distinct possibility that both managers will give fringe players the opportunity of pitch time tomorrow, which would make for a very interesting game and as always in any cup tie, the current form goes out of the window.

Casuals have only conceded three goals in their last six games, whereas Stafford have conceded twelve and scored eight. It will be a very competitive and feisty fixture as both clubs will look to want to progress in the Edward Case Cup and earn a place in the 3rd Round draw.

Tomorrows game kicks off at 3.00 p.m.

Admission: Adults £7.00, Concessions £4.00 including under 16’s, Under 12’s FREE

Printed Programme: £2.00

Free on-site car parking so be early to avoid disappointment in not being able to get a parking space.

Pre-match and during the match there will be hot and cold food available from the café and Sky Sports will be on in the bar showing the lunchtime and evening games.

We hope you will make the trip to Brinsford Stadium tomorrow and look forward to seeing you once again.
