United‘s current form is reasonably strong, having taken twelve points from their last six games. They have enjoyed a solid first season in this league, currently lying in eleventh place.

Kempston’s current unbeaten run stretches back ten matches and sees the club just outside the play off spots. Although the play offs are now out of reach, the club are looking to finish as strongly as possible. Robbie Goodman is still the only player to have featured in every game this season, he is now just two games away from an “ever present” tag.

Back in December, Thame came to Hillgrounds and ran riot in a four nil win, one of only three teams to come to Hillgrounds and win this season in the league – if the league were decided on home form; Rovers would be second, behind Hartley Wintney.

Basic directions;
Take the A421 toward MK, then head via Leighton Buzzard, through Aylesbury and out the other side on the A418. When approaching Thame, take the first exit on the large roundabout into Tythrop Way and the ground is immediately on the left. There is ample parking at the ground.
