Worcester Raiders host rivals Droitwich Spa in the final home game of the season.
It's back-to-back derby games for Raiders, following the 2-1 victory in Pershore on Easter Monday.
Goals from Jordan Murphy and Taylor Eades saw us do the double over Pershore and move us back into 2nd place.
Along with the goal scores, Manny Olaloko had a great game, picking up MOTM for continually troubling the Pershore defence and delivering a perfect cross for Taylor Eades to head home.
Slimbridge's win on Easter Monday secured them the Hellenic League Title, meaning Raiders route to promotion now looks set to be through the playoffs.
Manager Jordan Lewis on the playoffs, “ We’ve done well, but until it's confirmed 100%, we have to approach every game for maximum points until we get over the line, working as hard as ever at this point”.
A win tomorrow would confirm Raiders in the 25/26 playoffs, a huge occasion for the final home game.
“Bit of momentum into the playoffs is great, but we’ve worked hard all season to be in the position we’re in. We’ve had some great performances, and we’ve had some shockers, so we just need to try to come with consistency in performances".
A huge game Saturday with Raiders looking to get one over them before possibly playing each other again in a few weeks' time in the playoffs.
The away side come into the game off the back of a 5-3 defeat to Pegasus and just 7 points out of a possible 15 in whereas Raiders have picked up 10.
A big boost for Raiders as Ben Sanogo, George Hadley and George Patey all return to the side, three players that was not in the squad on Monday.
