It’s been a disappointing start to the season for Kidlington as The Greens have only picked up one point in 7 matches. Craig McKay will look to kick start Kidlington’s season with a victory against Welwyn Garden City, who have had a decent start to their campaign.

The Opposition

Welwyn Garden City, who are situated in the county of Hertfordshire, achieved status of step 4 football 6 years ago. A brilliant 2017/18 season resulted in The Citizens winning the league championship and bringing only their second title for the club at this level. However, disappointment came as they were defeated in the Hertfordshire FA Charity Shield, their sixth defeat in nine finals.

Marc Weatherstone has got Welwyn Garden City rocking in step 4 this season with victories over Real Bedford, Thame United and Ware resulting in the Hertfordshire outfit being placed in 5th. Unfortunately; defeat to Stotfold stopped their advancement towards the top of the table, with them 4 points behind league leaders Hadley. Goalscoring hasn’t been a problem for WGC as Bailey Stevenson has been in fine form. The Citizens’ striker has scored 8 in their last 9 fixtures with also midfielder Lewis Taaffe chipping in too.

Welwyn Garden City will look to bounce back after their defeat to Stotfold as they make the trip to Yarnton Road to face Kidlington in the Southern League Division One Central.
