Welwyn are well up there in the race for promotion and play off spots. They recently took apart Hertfordshire rivals Berkhamsted by four goals to one.
Perhaps quirkily, they have on their fixture list two games in two days at the end of February. Hosting Barton Rovers on Friday 28th, ahead of a trip to Kidlington on Saturday 29th. We are sure this is an error on the League website, but they have in past assured us that their fixture lists are infallible.
Rovers, having lost leading marksman Jake Newman to ‘that lot from Cardington’, are on the hunt for goals. Sam Johnson is keen to register his first since rejoining the club before Christmas, while Izale McLeod will want to add to his current tally after his penalty miss at Didcot
Basic directions;
Head toward the A1 and go south to London/Stevenage. Leave the A1 at exit 6 for the A1000 and take the first exit from the junction roundabout. Keep right to turn right at the next round about, signed A1000 W.G.C. and QE2 Hospital. Go straight over two roundabouts then take the first exit at the third one, continuing to follow signs for QE2 Hospital. Keep right to stay on this road as it goes around the large building on the right, once around the building, take the left hand turning onto Herns Way. The entrance to the ground is on the left, before the roundabout. The car park should be large enough to accommodate this fixture.
