Pitching-in Southern League Division One (Central); kick off 3pm.
Admission: Apologies, no information is available.
The prolonged stutter that has hit our promotion chances is in need of three points from this game against a side which is bottom of the division. However, Rovers are just one point behind FC Romania and must be targeting them as they continue to struggle.
With the Wolves facing a tough job away to Biggleswade, Rovers will know that even a draw against Ware could see them out of the one remaining automatic relegation place.
It’s not impossible, though they have won only once since November and drawn three games in the same period. The win came on the last Saturday of January, a 2-0 success at Cirencester but that was avenged by the same score in last weekend’s return match.
Considering Ware’s defensive errors last week Rovers may be relishing the chance to improve on their poor scoring record of late. Just three goals in their last eight matches. By the same token, that record suggests the Ware defence has a good opportunity to redeem its reputation. At least one of these sides should be feeling better about themselves come 5pm on Saturday.
Lastly, please note that although the club’s address is Sharpenhoe Road, entrance to the ground is via Luton Road. If you take a close up view of the destination in the directions map linked above you will see what this means.
