Tuesday saw us face Stafford Rangers for the second time in just three days. We put in a much-improved performance, but unfortunately once again found ourselves on the wrong side of the scoreline, losing 2–1.

We also said goodbye to Henry Brereton, who departed The Grove this week to join a new club. Thank you, Henry, for all your contributions during your time with Kidsgrove Athletic, and we wish you all the very best for the future!

Then on Saturday, we welcomed Padiham to the Fitzjohn Stadium and came away with a fantastic 1–0 victory!

A positive result to build on as we now look ahead to Tuesday night and a local derby away at Hanley Town.
