Wellingborough Town back on home soil as they gear up for Bedworth test

​Wellingborough Town will be aiming to maintain their unbeaten start to the Pitching-In Northern Premier League Midlands Division season on Saturday when they entertain Bedworth United (ko 3pm).

​Jake Stone's side return to the Dog & Duck hoping to get back to winning ways after drawing 3-3 at Shepshed Dynamo last weekend.

That was only the second time the Doughboys have dropped points this season, and on Saturday they go for an 16th win in 18 starts against their 11th-placed visitors.

Looking back on the draw with Shepshed, Stone told @doughboys_wtfc: "We should have been better in the first half, as Shepshed were exactly what we had planned for, and they played really well.

"Winter games here are really difficult, and this is one of the worst games for an away team.

"So if you can get a point out of it, keep the unbeaten run going for another week, and have to look at it as a whole over the past few weeks and Saturday

"If you look at the points total we have got over the past month or so, playing the teams at the top end, we would have absolutely taken it.

"So it's a good point, all in all it was probably a fair result, and now we move on, learn from it, and get back to the Dog & Duck on Saturday."

The Doughboys go into Saturday's game 11 points clear at the top of the table, while Bedworth sit just a couple of points outside the play-off zone.

They have suffered just one defeat in their past six matches, and last weekend played out a 1-1 draw at home with struggling Barwell.

Their leading scorers are George Dunkley and Teddy Rowe, who have both netted six goals apiece this season.
