Non league fixtures: 'El Staffico' derby set to return

The 'El Staffico' derby will return as part of a bumper festive run of Staffordshire football fixtures this season.

Published

Hednesford Town and Stafford Rangers have been reunited in Northern One West following the Pitmen's reprieve and Boro's relegation from the Northern Premier.

Keys Park will host the first league meeting of the season between the sides on Boxing Day, with the return at Marston Road saved for the penultimate fixture of the season on Easter Monday, April 21.

Hednesford host fellow neighbours Chasetown on the August bank holiday and travel to the Scholars Ground on New Year's Day.

The Pitmen open with a home game against Vauxhall Motors on August 10 and finish their campaign at home to Runcorn Linnets on April 26.

Stafford open at Stalybridge Celtic on August 10 and travel to Clitheroe for their finale on April 26.

They travel to Chasetown on November 9 and host the return on March 15.

The Scholars start their campaign at Clitheroe and are also on the road for their final match of the season at Avro.
