Non-league preview: Hednesford search for first win, as Kidderminster host Aldershot

Hednesford Town travel to New Bucks Head to face Shropshire outfit AFC Telford United still searching for their first win in the National League North.

The Pitmen, who have won back-to-back promotions, were denied their first three points in the sixth-tier this term - after Southport produced a 95th-minute equaliser in a 2-2 draw on Tuesday night.

Goals from Dylan Mottley-Henry and Lenni Cirino propelled Hednesford into a 2-0 lead, before Daniel Ogwuru halved the deficit on 90 minutes and Sol Solomon completed the comeback five minutes later.

Kelvin Davis’ charges had previously lost 2-0 at Merthyr Town on the opening day and followed that with a 4-3 home defeat to Scarborough.

Kidderminster Harriers will be aiming to build on their first win back in the National League when they host Aldershot Town at Aggborough on Saturday lunch-time.

Summer signing Levi Amantchi scored a 77th-minute decider to lead Kidderminster to a 1-0 home victory over Eastleigh last time out, as they responded to their 3-0 opening day drubbing at Hornchurch.

Halesowen Town will also be searching for back-to-back wins in the Southern Central Premier when they travel to Needham Market.

After losing 1-0 at Bury Town on the opening day, Halesowen responded by winning by the same scoreline against Bishop’s Stortford at the Grove courtesy of Dan Meredith’s match-winner.

Rushall Olympic have started the new season with two wins from three games, as they host Banbury United at Dales Lane.

Carter Lycett and Tyler Roberts scored to lead the Pics’ to a 2-1 victory at Leiston last time out to follow their opening day victory at home to Hitchin Town.

Stourbridge are searching for a third successive victory at home against Leiston this weekend.

The Glassboys have flown out of the traps this season - beating Stamford 2-0 and Peterborough Sports 2-1 respectively.

Northern One West outfit Chasetown continued their journey in the FA Cup with a trip to Boldmere St Michaels in the preliminary round.

Chasetown romped to a 6-1 demolition of Coton Green in the extra preliminary round, but have picked up just one-point from a possible six in the league so far.

Lichfield City head into their FA Cup preliminary round tie at Lye Town off the back of a wretched run of four consecutive defeats.

So far, Lichfield have lost at Lower Breck (4-1) and Shifnal Town (4-2), as well as at home to Witton Albion (6-1) and Stafford Rangers (3-0).

In contrast, Stafford Rangers extended their winning streak to four games as a result of their comfortable triumph over Lichfield.

They now host Matlock Town in the FA Cup, after comfortably disposing of Tividale in the previous round with a dominant 5-0 victory.
