Just enroute to Hanley Town v Leek Town in pre-season.

By gosh it’s a warm one here in the Potteries (and England in general).

Make sure you apply sun cream, take water and a cap if you’re at a game.

A pleasue to be asked by the non-league paper team to write the round up on yesterday's pre-season action.

Despite it being late June, we still had a dozen or so fixtures, and I've picked out the best bits of it all.
