After three gruelling away games on the spin Alfreton Town return home to the Impact Arena on Saturday when they welcome Warrington Town to Derbyshire in a vitally important National League North clash.

Its been a difficult and tricky time for the Reds who have now lost 10 of their last 12 league games. This damaging run has seen Billy Heath`s men crash to 16th in the league table following the latest setback in midweek away at South Shields.
With 13 games to go in this season Alfreton despite their lowly position still have a 11 point buffer on Needham Market in the final relegation position.
The Reds will be under no illusion at the importance of picking up a positive result in this game against the visitors who languish in 22nd and are 11 games without a win dating back to December 2024.
As we enter March the upcoming fixtures after this clash against Brackley and Scunthorpe who are both vying for the title alongside Chester look to be a tough challenge for an out of form Ofton outfit so this game takes on an added significance.

One of the positives of recent weeks however despite Alfreton`s on pitch struggles has been the form of Ofton number 11 Lewis Salmon. A goal in the second half on Tuesday night at South Shields made it seven goals in his last 11 appearances for Salmon which took his season tally to 10.
Despite another defeat on Tuesday night at South Shields which made it four losses in succession this latest reversal was not without encouraging signs. Despite falling behind to a bit of quality from league top scorer Paul Blackett and a second from Kyle Crossley the Reds demonstrated fight determination and desire in the second half and were perhaps unlucky not to get something from the game.

Saturday`s opponents Warrington have endured a troubled and difficult campaign so far The Yellows have struggled all campaign and have only won 5 games all season. Paul Carden was appointed manager for a second spell in charge of the Cheshire side back in September and was in the dugout for the reverse game between the two sides earlier this season which saw a second half winner from Liam Waldock mean Alfreton left with all three points.
While Alfreton have a poor record historically against their opponents The Reds are unbeaten in all meetings since the Yellows promotion to National League North (W1 D2).
Another tight and nervy game is in prospect so get behind the lads and roar them on to a huge three points as we look to move further away from the relegation area!!
