Free-scoring Badgers aiming for another five-star show
Looking ahead to this weekend’s action across steps five and six of the non-league pyramid.
Free-scoring Brocton will look to make further inroads on the Midland League Premier Division play-off places.
The Badgers visit Darlaston Town tomorrow (3pm) on the back of a 5-1 win over Tividale last weekend and a 5-0 triumph at Lye Town on Tuesday.
That has helped them become overwhelmingly the highest scorers in the division with 45 goals from 15 matches.
Reg Smith took his season’s tally to 19 with a hat-trick against Lye in midweek, while Morgan Payne is into double figures after bagging a brace.
Struggling Darlo, meanwhile, picked up an important point against play-off chasers Sutton United. Oliver Jeeves (two) and Abdul Halim-Bashiru were on target for new boss Matty Lovatt’s first point.
Elsewhere in the Midland Premier tomorrow, 16th-placed Lye will be looking to climb above visiting Wythenshawe Town while rock-bottom Tividale head to Whitchurch Alport.
Tivi lost 5-4 to Stone Old Alleynians in midweek, with Stone back on the road tomorrow hoping to follow that up by getting one over on table-topping Winsford United.
Sporting Khalsa are unbeaten in five matches in all competitions after a 2-2 draw at AFC Wolverhampton City in midweek and host Abbey Hulton United tomorrow.
Oliver West scored a 94th-minute equaliser for City, who are on the road at West Didsbury & Chorlton tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Dudley Town got to Stockport Georgians after a 2-1 defeat against Abbey Hulton in midweek.
Midland One leaders Gornal Athletic will be looking to extend a six-match winning streak in all competitions when they host Ingles tomorrow.

In North West Counties League Division One South, third-placed Stafford Town travel to Shawbury United and Brereton Social host Dawley Town.
There is also action in the second round of the North West Counties League Cup - the Macron Cup - with Bilston Town visiting Alsager Town, Eccleshall travelling to Wednesfield and Wolverhampton Casuals hosting Crewe.
