 | | Tipton will need to keep control |
This season has been a remarkable improvement, challenging for promotion all season but in the end just missing out and finishing fifth in the league. The chance to lift the League Cup has kept our season alive. Standing in the way are League Champions Leamington who have taken the lead by storm and won it at a canter; achieving 103 points and suffering just five defeats all season. Are Tipton going to win? Both League games this season ended in victory's for Leamington but there has been a lot of change since the sides last met in October, and Tipton have ended the season strongly and it promises to be a close encounter. How important is this match for Tipton? This is Tipton's biggest game of the season without doubt, Leamington are the side to beat.

The League Cup Final is a big thing at this level, it sends out a message for next season that Tipton will again be up there challenging and can hopefully prove that the club has what it takes to build from this season to bring more success. Where do we get tickets from and how much are they? The game is 'pay-on-the-day' on Thursday night at Bescot Stadium. Kick-off 7.30pm. Turnstiles 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 in the main stand will be in use; prices are £5 for Adults and £2 Concessions. Good luck Tipton Town! |
