Ludlow Town eyeing more joy on the road

Ludlow Town will be aiming to conjure up another away day special when they return to Hellenic League Division One action this weekend.

​The Knights face a tricky looking test away to ninth-placed Carterton on Saturday, but will make the journey with confidence high following another impressive result on their travels.

They took a break from league action last weekend and recorded a surprise 2-0 FA Vase victory away to Premier Division outfit Hereford Pegasus.

Ryan Clarke bagged both goals, the second a stunning lob from near the halfway line, to secure a trip to Leicestershire outfit North Kilworth in the next round.

"We had done our homework on them and we played really, really well,” said joint boss John Haycox. "It's not being disrespectful, but it could probably have been more if we'd have taken our chances.

"The boys were fantastic. They they dug in. They knew they had to work hard because it was going to be a tough task because they were going to be that little bit fitter and sharper because of playing in a league above."

And after producing one of their best displays of the season, Haycox will be looking for more of the same as the Knights look to maintain their impressive record away from home.

“I don't know anything about Carterton, but we will just we concentrate on ourselves and see where we're at. Our away form has been good,” he said.

Ludlow’s ranks have been boosted by the return of Kieran Dovey, who has rejoined the club following a spell with Welsh outfit Knighton Town.
