Thame United are back at home this Saturday in the Pitching In Southern League Central Division One, as Ware FC are the visitors to The ASM Stadium. The first meeting this season back in December ended in a 2 - 2 draw, with Ware going into a two goal lead, before Harry Alexander pulled one back at the end of the first half then scored an equaliser in the 86 minute with Thame pressure on the Ware goal in the second half finally paying off. There was an outstanding performance from the Ware keeper who made several saves in the game to keep Ware in the game.
Ware come into this weekends match on a good run of form and are third in the form table having won their last four matches and only lost one of their last seven and last time out beat third in the table Biggleswade Town, so they will be coming into this match with high expectations and currently sitting on seventh place there is a chance they could reach the play offs.
Meanwhile on a miserably Tuesday night with high winds and lots of rain Thame dug in an overcame Hadley FC 2 - 0, with Louis Walsh and Harry Alexander bagging their 23rd and 16th goals of the season. The victory moves the hosts up two places in the table to fourth, two points above Biggleswade FC (who have a game in hand) and three above Hertford Town who have played the same amount of games. Thame now sit top of the form guide unbeaten in the last six games. The play offs are now in their hands with six games to go, three home and three away and are now not relying on other teams now to slip up.
Both teams have got goal scorers in their ranks, Ware has Reece Beckles Richards who has scored 23 goals in the league meanwhile Thame will be hoping Louis Walsh can continue his scoring record he also has 23 goals, with Harry Alexander on 16 for the season.
Kick off at The ASM Stadium is 15:00
