Pitching In Northern Premier League – Midlands Division
Saturday 3 October 2026 | 3:00pm
Raygar Stadium, Belper
Bedworth United are back on the road tomorrow afternoon as the Greenbacks make the trip to Derbyshire to take on Belper Town, with kick-off at 3:00pm at the Raygar Stadium.
It promises to be another competitive Midlands Division encounter, with both sides looking to take maximum points from the weekend fixture.
GREENBACKS LOOKING TO BUILD ON GRANTHAM WIN
Bedworth head into Saturday’s game with confidence following Tuesday night’s 2-1 home victory over Grantham Town.
The result saw the Greenbacks return to winning ways after a goalless draw away at AFC Rushden & Diamonds and defeat at home to Boston Town in their previous two league fixtures.
Earlier in September, Bedworth also recorded an impressive 1-0 away victory at Basford United, while wins over Coleshill Town, Shepshed Dynamo and Coventry United have contributed to a positive start to the league campaign.
With another away trip now on the agenda, the Greenbacks will be looking to carry that momentum into Saturday’s contest.
NAILERS PROVIDE THE OPPOSITION
Belper Town currently sit 17th in the Midlands Division, having collected 10 points from their opening 10 league matches. Their recent league form has included back-to-back 1-1 draws against Long Eaton United and Coleshill Town, either side of a 2-0 home defeat to Rugby Borough.
Belper’s most recent outing came on Monday evening, when they travelled to Coleshill Town and returned with a point following a 1-1 draw.
The Nailers will therefore be looking to make home advantage count on Saturday, while Bedworth will be aiming to make the trip back to Warwickshire with another valuable result.
A BUSY PERIOD AHEAD
Saturday’s game is the first of a busy run of fixtures for Bedworth.
Following the visit to Belper, the Greenbacks are scheduled to travel to Boldmere St Michaels on Tuesday evening before returning home next Saturday to face Bourne Town.
With points available across a packed period of league action, Saturday’s encounter represents another important opportunity for Bedworth to continue progressing.
SUPPORT THE GREENBACKS
The Greenbacks will be hoping for another strong travelling support at the Raygar Stadium as they look to add to their points tally on the road.
