KINGSTONIAN COME TO TOWN

Enfield Town welcome Kingstonian to The Queen Elizabeth Stadium on Saturday for another all important Ryman Premier Division game. The K's come to North London as play-off contenders and with three games in hand over leader's Whitehawk they could also be rated as serious title contenders. Should Alan Dowson's side win the trio of games it would put them just two points below the favourites with the two sides yet to play each other yet. In fact The K's have a journey down to Brighton next Tuesday which puts an added importance on this game as they will want to keep the pressure right on The Hawks.

Kingstonian are currently fourth in the league form table winning four, drawing one and losing one of their last six games. Town are in tenth place winning three and losing three. On their travels in the Ryman League Premier Division The K's have played twelve games winning five, drawing one and losing six. They have scored twenty times and let in twenty three goals.

Their last game was played on Saturday 9th February where they recorded a 9-3 home victory over Cray Wanderers. Here is some information about some of the players whom played in that game and will be facing Enfield Town on Saturday -

Manager Alan Dowson has been with the K's since January 2007 and brought the club back up to the Premier Division in his first full season. He is a legend at Walton and Hersham where he made over 300 appearances in a ten year spell where he was also manager for two. A fine example for the golden rule of the stability=success rule in football as over the last two season's the club has finished in 7th and 11th place missing out on the play-offs which they had reached in their first season back in the Premier Division in 2010. Despite failure of not reaching the play-offs or promotion the club haven't pushed the panic button and kept faith with their manager which could prove dividends at the end of the season.

The 9-3 victory over Cray has helped The K's move up to third in the goals scored table with only Whitehawk and Concord Rangers above them. Town are in fourth position!! 

The five wins The K's have had on the road have come against Concord Rangers, Lowestoft Town, Cray Wanderers, Carshalton Athletic and Bognor Regis Town.

If you fancy a gamble on the game bet365.com make The K's evens favourites with the draw rated at 13/5 and a Town win at 2/1.

COME ON YOU TOWNERS!!!
