Firstly Nuneaton Town wishes all it's fans, volunteers and playing staff a Happy New Year.
Nuneaton Town open 2025 with a home game against Wednesfield, looking to continue setting the pace in the Midland League Division 1. Town ended 2024 at the top of the table, 5 points clear of 2nd.
Wednesfield by comparison have struggled in this campaign, and find themselves 2nd bottom, with just 3 wins and 2 draws from 26 matches, and just 19 goals scored. With 2 of Nuneaton's title rivals, Coton Green and Heather St John's, facing each other on the same day, 3 more points is therefore crucial to edging Town closer to the league title.
Last time out Nuneaton Town edged past a resurgent Lutterworth Athletic 1-0 with a great finish from Sahel Yessen, whilst Wednesfield went down 1-0 at home to Sutton United.
Nuneaton Town won 4-0 against Wednesfield in the away game back in August, with goals from Louis Baker, Justin Marsden, Aaron Williams and Harrison Bruce.
Come and support the lads for what is the beginning of a crucial run in, with games against title rivals Coton Green and Kirby Muxloe to follow later in the month.
