Kidsgrove looking to build from Saturdays win against Bootle as they welcome newly promoted local rivals Hanley Town to the Autonet Insurance Stadium.

Kidsgrove came out 2-1 winners as Aaron Bott’s two penalties earned them a hard fought three points despite Will Saxon and Kingsley Adu-Gyamfi both being sent off. A late goal from Ben Hodkinson was only a consolation for Bottle as Kidsgrove got their first win since August.

They will be looking to get back-to-back wins for the first time this season and the opponents in their way are newly appointed Ryan Shotton’s Hanley Town under the floodlights on Tuesday night.

Ryan Shotton was appointed the new manager of Hanley Town last week as Carl Dickinson and Dave Kevan left the club by mutual consent. Ben Chapman took charge of Hanley’s first match after their departure in a 4-1 defeat to local rivals Leek Town, before Ryan Shotton was made permeant manager.

Ben chapman is now assistant manager and Ryan Shotton managed his first game on Saturday as they suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Workington. Hanley took the lead when Dan Wordsworth scored an own goal in the 11th minute, but two goals from David Symington got Workington all three points.

Hanley currently sit 18th, six places below Kidsgrove who sit 12th in the league table. Both sides have picked up six points in their last 6 games, Kidsgrove have won one, drawn three and lost two and Hanley have won two and lost four.

This game is looking to be a cracker with both sides looking to have one over their local rivals and climb the league table.
