Kempston arrive at this game on an eleven game unbeaten run, which sees them at the business end of the form table – only the two sides promoted automatically have better recent form. Robbie Goodman will be the only ever present figure in the Rovers side if he makes an appearance in this fixture. Martin Conway reached the milestone of 290 games for the club at Thame, closing in on the highest recorded appearances total in the Kempston archives.
Hanwell are one of a number of sides in this part of London that were founded by workers from the North East, which explains the club's nickname and colours. They will finish the season in eighteenth place, baring a ten goal defeat, which has been the highest position they have occupied all season.
When travelling for this one, be aware of London rush hour traffic and allow yourself a little extra time.
This fixture marks the end of the regular season in the Southern League for 2017-18. The club would like to thank all the fans for their magnificent support this season. Details of pre-season friendlies will be announced over the course of the summer break, in the mean time; enjoy the World Cup (most of the games will be screened at Rovers) and we will see you next season. Thank you.
