Craig McKay was absent for the defeat against Thame United, with Lloyd Owers taking temporary charge of management. With Craig returning to the touchline, Kidlington will be hoping for a change of fortune against Hertford Town.

Ben Herd’s Hertford Town was defeated by Ware, as a goal from Billy Mardell-Smith was Hertford’s only goal as Ware scored five.

The Opposition

Hertford Town, who currently sit 17th in the Southern League Division One Central, have struggled for form this season under Ben Herd. With only 1 point on the table, which came from a draw against Hadley, Herd will be looking to add to his total against Kidlington. Currently in his 5th season with The Blues, the Hertfordshire outfit will be looking to build on last seasons 14th placed finish.

Recently Hertford Town saw youth talent, Kurai Musanhi, complete a move to Premier League side Crystal Palace for a Hertford Town club record fee.

It was a tough Bank Holiday Monday, with both clubs conceding 5 goals. Billy Mardell-Smith was the only player to get on the scoresheet for Hertford Town, as Ware took all three points.

Team News

Dineen Hollifield-Meegan was able to warm up with the team before missing out on the Bank Holiday action. Unfortunately, Sam Jenkins went down on his return on Monday, signalling to the bench that he couldn’t take any more part in proceedings. Craig McKay has yet confirmed the extent of Jenko’s injury and how it could impact his plans for the squad.

Last Time Out

Kidlington lost on Bank Holiday Monday as Thame United scored 5 and took all 3 points.

Oxford City loanee, Brayden Daniel, would open the scoring and then later on would assist to add to Thame’s tally for the afternoon. With goals also coming from Jefferson Louis, Harry Alexander, Mark Riddick and Fabian Garcia.

A defeat that the lads will try to forget quickly before facing Hertford Town on the 31st August.

Last Time We Met Hertford Town

With Kidlington facing The Blues last season, it ended 1-1 at Hertingfordbury Park. However, Kidlington would become victorious at Yarnton Road as we won 2-0.
