Baffins preview - Saturday Feb 25th

AFC Stoneham’s unbeaten home record is on the line again when they take on Baffins Milton Rovers side.

 AFC Stoneham:

Stoneham are back at home after two league games on the road, beating Moneyfields and most recently Horndean in an important match at the top of the table.

Liam Callaghan’s goal was enough to separate the two sides and for the Purp’s to take all three points back to Stoneham Lane.

 They come into this game top of the recent form guide and have won six games on the bounce.

Baffins Milton Rovers:

 The away side also come into this game is flying form, winning five of their last seven in all competitions.

They most recently beat Lymington Town of the Southern League Division One South 7-6 on penalties in the Hampshire Senior Cup, progressing to the next round in a shock upset.

However, they are still without their top scorer Tom Vincent who suffered a broken cheek and fractured jaw in their defeat to Bemerton on January 21st.

This means their main threat up top comes from their second highest scorer Kelvin Robinson, a player who has scored 11 goals this season and who links up well with captain Jason Parish.
