Hanwell‘s current form is identical to Kempston’s with three wins, a draw and two defeats in their last six. They currently sit in 19th place in the table, although with only one going down this season and Arlesey Town being in the state they are in, it is probably safe to say that Hanwell are safe this season.
Hanwell are one of several sides in and around Middlesex that were founded by Newcastle ex-pats working in the area and carry the nickname Geordies. The club were promoted to this level in 2014 after a titanic battle for the South Midlands league title with Ampthill Town (who at the time had several future Kempston Rovers players in their ranks)
Kempston will arrive on the back of the four three win against second placed Beaconsfield Town, with new signings Mason Spence and Harry Stratton looking to make their first starts. Ben Shepherd will make his one hundredth appearance for Kempston if he features in this game.
