Pershore Town's quest for the title continues this weekend as they face a potential tricky test away at play-off chasing Abingdon United (3PM KO).

Danny Janes' league leaders have dropped just two points all season and are on a 10-match winning streak in the Hellenic League Division One season.

The Plums have not conceded a league goal since August but this weekend should provide a stern test against an Abingdon side who have only lost three times this season and have won eight of their 13 matches in the 2022/23 league campaign.

Pershore's ambitions of winning the league at the start of the season now look like more of an expectation than an aim but with Milton United still on their heels, they cannot afford to drop points.

Last weekend, Milton lost just their second game of the season and they are just a point behind Pershore, albeit having played a game more.

But they look like Janes' biggest competitor for the title and he will be keen to see his side step it up from recent weeks.

Three of the last five wins have seen them take three points by a 1-0 margin and whilst they are keeping goals out at the back, Janes will no doubt want to see a bit more from his attack.

After their 3-0 cup win in mid-week, Janes reaffirmed his desire to see his team push themselves.

"We are very demanding on the players because of how good they are and how much talent they have, they might think it's intense but we only want to push them," he said.

"As a management team if we didn't strive for them to be the best they can be, we would not be doing our job correctly and we would be doing a disservice to the players.

Looking ahead to the trip to Abingdon, Janes knows that there is the potential for a slip-up if his squad are not on the money.

"Abingdon have really transformed this season and have picked up some excellent results," he added.

"They are a club with a great history and it's good to see them progressing and becoming a force within this league.

"We will be aiming to stop their momentum with a win, a result that will be very difficult to pick up.

"It is vital that we pick up points around the teams chasing us to try and create a gap, we need every player at their best for this game and if they aren't, we are going to have problems."
