FC Oswestry Town vs St Helens Town
Hallmark Security League Division 1
Saturday, 16th September 2017 3:00 PM
The Venue, Burma Road, Oswestry, Shropshire, SY11 4AS

This match up surely must be one of the games of the weekend as the bottom 2 sides of the Hallmark Security League Division 1 meet at The Venue in a fixture that could be season defining for one of these 2 teams. Oswestry have made the worst possible start to their 2nd season in the division as they would have hoped to have improved on their 15th place finish last season. The men from Shropshire have lost all 7 of their league matches so far, conceding 5 goals in 3 of their last 6 games in all competitions. Town haven’t fared much 5 better, having also only collected no points from their opening 6 league games as the result from their home match against Abbey Hulton has not yet been finalised. However, they have looked more promising in recent games, with narrow defeats to Hemsworth Miners Welfare and City of Liverpool in the past 7 days. A victory for either side may well prove the springboard needed to turn their fortunes around.
