Halesowen Town vs Corby Town | Saturday 14th September | BetVictor Southern Football League Division One Central

The Steelmen head to Halesowen, a large market town in the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley, in the county of West Midlands, for our next BetVictor Southern League Division One Central clash.

The Steelmen go into the clash on the back of a fine 3-1 away win against Colney Heath, a victory that sent Corby through to the Emirates FA Cup Second Qualifying Round!

Goals from Stephen Diggin (2) and John Dean gave the Steelmen their second win on the road this season and maintained our unbeaten start to the 2019/20 season.

Opposition

Halesowen Town are no strangers to the Steelmen, we have clashed numerous times over recent years in the Southern Premier League.

The Yeltz ran out 7-1 winners last time out in the FA Cup First Qualifying Round against Lichfield City. They currently sit 6th in the table with 3 wins and a draw from their 4 league games.

The Yeltz also competed in the Southern League Cup this midweek, running out 1-0 winners against Stratford Town thanks to a first half goal from Luke Yates

Last Time We Met

The two sides last met in 2016, the first game at The Grove finished 1-1 with Callum Ball heading in the Steelmens goal, before a Friday evening clash at Steel Park saw both teams again go home with a point following a 0-0 draw!

STATS CENTRE

  • Saturdays win saw Corby into the 2nd Qualifying Round in the FA Cup for the 2nd season running, and they have again been drawn away to a team from the step above.
  • The 5 match unbeaten run at the start of this campaign is half way to the run that the Steelmen put together at the start of the last campaign!
  • Havinf finished last season with 9 goals, Stephen Diggin is well on his way to eclipsing that tally, bagging himself 7 goals so far!
