Westwood return a welcome boost for Stratford Town

KIEREN Westwood is set to make a welcome return to the Stratford Town line-up for tonight's Southern League Cup second round clash with local rivals Leamington at the DCS Stadium.

Westwood has been sorely missed in Town's last three games, but the wing-back has now fully recovered from a groin strain and is fit to face his former club.

Another former Brakes man, Jamie Sheldon, is also available after he limped out of the Grantham game last Tuesday with a foot injury.

Manager Carl Adams will be without midfielder Barry Fitzharris, who serves the third of a three-game suspension, while Dior Angus is away on holiday.

The game also comes a week too soon for wing-back Dan Summerfield, who is still recovering from a hamstring setback.

Jean Kalenda will also miss out after suffering damage to his knee ligaments against Grantham. The big defender looks set to return to training in a couple of weeks.
