UP NEXT, the reserves are at the Stag Ground where they hope to wrap up the league championship as they face Pass Move Grin Excel.
Kimberley head into the fixture on a fifteen match unbeaten run, winning ten of those matches and scoring 56 goals, conceding just 18 in that period. However, the last two matches have ended level.
Pass Move Grin still have six more matches after Saturday. While they can’t finish any higher than fourth, they will still want to push for as high a finish as possible. With two wins in their last two matches, PMG represent a considerable threat to the miners this weekend.
Last weekend, Kimberley made the very short trip to third from bottom AFC Sandiacre Town. Matt Brown scored in the first minute for the home side. Bijan Pakrouz equalised on 18 minutes. A lot of huffing and puffing came to nothing as both teams failed to score again, giving us a 1-1 result and forcing the wait for glory to head into at least one more week.
PMG hit the jackpot last weekend as they thrashed mid-table Rushcliffe FC 8-1. A hat trick from Noah Tesfalem was accompanied by a brace each for Jamous Admin and Bachir Tyera and one for Shalom-Chris Ogbonna rounded off the rout.
LAST TIME AROUND
The two sides last met in March, where Bijan Pakrouz and Kian Hughes wrapped up a 2-0 win for Kimberley.
Last season, the two sides last met in February last year in the corresponding fixture today's match. PMG took all three points on that occasion with Hassan Ahmed and Noah Tesfalem on the scoresheet while Joe Gillan hit back with Kimberley’s only goal.
The fixture at The Stag Ground was at the early stages of last season. Luca Burton and Dan Walker were on the scoresheet in a 2-0 for the miners.
FINALLY
For those who aren't making the trip to Skegness this weekend, please get along and support the Reserves in their quest for victory.
