Holwell leading scorer Kieran Foster claimed his 11th league goal of the season on Saturday EMN-170901-144805002

The home side sit sixth in the East Midlands Counties League, but trail leaders West Bridgford by just four points in a very open title race.

Park have won their last three matches, but lost four of the previous five, and were only narrow winners against lowly Belper, 3-2, in their last home match.

Despite Saturday’s defeat, Holwell are enjoying a strong spell, having won four of their last six, and have found the net 14 times in that period.

A single goal was enough to give Aylestone victory in the reverse fixture at Welby Road in August.

Kick-off on Saturday is 3pm.
