The Acorns will be itching to bounce back from a disappointing result on Saturday as we travel to Sporting Club Inkberrow this evening.
This will be the Acorns third straight season heading to Sands Road, having won on both occassions previously and having lost just one of our five meetings.
Ahead of tonight’s clash with our familiar foes, here is everything you need to know about The Eagles.

WHAT’S HAPPENED SO FAR THIS SEASON?
The Eagles have struggled for form as of late winning just one of their last four games and head into this fixture also off the back of a heavy 4-1 defeat to Bishops Cleeve, on Saturday.
However, Inkberrow have managed to turn Sands Road into somewhat of a fortress, with the Worcestershire side on a four game unbeaten streak at home, with their last defeat coming back at the start of November.
PREVIOUS MEETINGS
The Acorns and the Eagles have met on five occassions over the last three seasons, which has seen the sides promoted together through the Hellenic League Division One, Hellenic Premier to now, the Southern League’s.
It was a battling 3-1 victory for the Acorns at the 4ED Hartpury Stadium, back at the start of the season, following on from a defeat to Inkberrow at the end of the last campaign.
Prior to that, the Acorns had won all three of the opening meetings and will be hoping for a similar outcome on Saturday.
