Midland Football League Division 1 Champions Nuneaton Town round out their away tour of the division with their first ever visit to Saffron Dynamo FC this Saturday afternoon.
Nuneaton will be well rested having had a 2 week rest prior to this game, but will hope that that break hasn't affected momentum as they look to add to a 21 match unbeaten run in the .
Last time out Nuneaton were held to a 0-0 draw, their first of the season, by Leicester St Andrew's, who will look to join them in step 5 this season when they contest the play-offs. It was indeed the first time in 2025 Nuneaton had failed to win, but was enough to seal a century of points, a first for any Nuneaton Town or Borough side since the original club was formed in 1889.
Saffron Dynamo did play last Saturday and went down to a narrow 1-0 defeat away at Bilston Town. That left them sat in 14th place with 13 wins, 9 draws and 18 losses from their 40 games, amassing 48 points. Nuneaton will look for a 32nd victory of the season, and need 11 goals in the final 2 matches to break the record of 128 goals set all the way back in the 1940s.
Can Nuneaton Town win for the 16th time on the road this season and extend their mammoth points total?
