The Brewers continue their run of away games on Saturday afternoon as they travel East (HU17 9HW) to play newly promoted Beverley Town. The Beavers have had a great first half of the season so this will be another challenging game for The Brewers.

So far this season, they have 33 points from 19 games played to stand in 5th place, which is a play off position. This is their first season in the NCEL Premier having spent the last 2 seasons in NCEL Division 1. Before that, they played in the Humber Premier League. The Brewers are 14 points behind them from the same number of games played to stand in 17th place. It is an important day, as the 2 teams directly below the Brewers meet on Saturday as Knaresorough Town are at home to Winterton Rangers. Goole AFC who are bottom have a tough home game against Hallam.

In the form table, Beverley have taken 16 points from a possible 18 to be the 2nd best form team at the moment with Golcar United. Only Silsden have a better record with a straight 18 points from 18. At home, they have only dropped 5 points from 9 games played. So it will be a tough game for The Brewers as they have taken 3 points from the last 6 games played. Their leading scorer is Cameron Connelly with 14 goals in all competitions.

The Brewers welcome the returning Oli Norman into the squard after his move back from Bradford Park Avenue and the arrival on loan from Scarborough of defender Nathan Heaton.

I am sure the team would welcome any travelling support possible. The weather forecast is warmer than this week has been but it could be wet, so wrap up warm. Please keep an eye on Social Media on Saturday incase Storm Bert has any effect on affairs as it heads out over the North Sea during the afternoon.
