The Moles‘ current form is seven points from their last six games, wins against Hartley Wintney and Beaconsfield, plus a draw with Thame off set defeats against Moneyfields, Fleet and our neighbours Bedford Town.
Kempston’s current form does not make great reading for fans of the Walnut Boys, only five points from the last six outings. The 4-2 away win at Beaconsfield came at the end of a four game winning streak. Rovers have showed signs of recovery in recent games, but lady luck is still not wearing her red and white scarf.

Basic directions;
Follow the A421 towards Milton Keynes, once you have passed the ‘long jump statue roundabout’, take the second exit at the next roundabout, following the sign for MK Dons. At the next three roundabouts take first, third and first exits toward Bow Brickhill station. Cross the railway line and then the A5 and stay on the A4146. Stay on this road, crossing all roundabouts, until you see the A418 to Aylesbury signposted. Take this exit from the roundabout. Continue to follow the A418 into Aylesbury itself until the double roundabout. Go straight over the first of the double, then turn right at the second onto Bicester Road. You will reach a roundabout with a pub named “The Cotton Wheel” on the right hand side, at this roundabout, take the third exit onto Jackson Road. Haywood Way is second right off Jackson Road. The ground is at the end of this road, there is limited parking, but the surrounding streets are reasonably quiet.
