United‘s current form is good considering their league position currently. They have three wins in their last six league outings as well as a creditable draw against Moneyfields. Earlier in the season the Ducks came to Hillgrounds and were taken apart in a sensational second half display by Rovers with two goals from Jake Newman and one apiece from Sam Johnson and Nathan Tshikuna.
Kempston currently have two wins and a draw from their last six league outings, but with the caveat that most of those games have been against sides at the very top of the table. Defeats to Diamonds, Cambridge and Hayes should be viewed in the wider context of the season as unfortunate to be played so close together on the calendar. The ‘nightmare’ run of games is behind us now as we look to the rest of the season with renewed optimism and hope as well as a league cup quarter final on the horizon.

Basic directions;
Follow the A421 towards Milton Keynes, once you have passed the ‘long jump statue roundabout’, take the second exit at the next roundabout, following the sign for MK Dons. At the next three roundabouts take first, third and first exits toward Bow Brickhill station. Cross the railway line and then the A5 and stay on the A4146. Stay on this road, crossing all roundabouts, until you see the B488 to Tring signposted at a roundabout – take this exit. In the village of Ivinghoe, turn left at the T junction to stay on the B488. From this road, follow signs for Tring. When in Tring, follow signs for the A41. Follow the A41 toward London, take the exit marked Chesham A416, taking the first exit at the junction roundabout. When you reach a mini roundabout by a Shell garage, turn left to stay on the A416. Continue to follow signs for A416 (Amersham) over roundabouts. You will pass between Esso and BP petrol stations on opposite sides of the road, at the roundabout after these, the entrance to the ground is the third (just right of straight on) exit. There is ample parking at the ground.
