Match preview

Following on from Wednesday evening's goal-heavy performance at Olney, Stony will be looking to keep up the good work as they take on Woburn & Wavendon this Saturday.

W&W stormed into the North Bucks league last season, taking Div. 2 by storm (much as Stony did two seasons ago) and were unfortunate not to take the title due to a void result. Nonetheless, they battled to a respectable second place and promotion to the intermediate Div. this season. They excelled in the cup, reaching the final only to be on the receiving end of a particularly fine performance from Willen FC. All told the season must go down as a success. They're only a couple of pre-season games in and so their form is hard to judge, a 1-7 hammering at Hanslope was turned on its head this week when they handed AFC Carpathians a 9-1 battering themselves.

Stony took on W&W in a late-season friendly earlier in the year emerging as comfortable 4-1 winners. Something similar would be just the ticket and an indicator that Wednesday at Olney was a turning point in their pre-season fortunes.
