Oswestry Football Predictions Week 3

Nearly a clean sweep last week, seven out of nine.
A vast improvement from the week before, but to be fair it couldn't have got any worse really.
However this week I can see it being more like the first week, a tough round of fixtures to call.
A few surprises in there this week as I mix them up. So how will I get on?
I have only picked six games, so check out my predictions below and see what you think.

Bala Town vs The New Saints
First against second in the Welsh Prem on Friday night and you would expect the full timers and champions to come out on top.
However I think this one could go to the wire.
Bala have had a great start after a pretty poor campaign last time out, and with players in their ranks such as David Artell and Mark Jones, they could push Craig Harrison's Saints all the way.
DRAW

Haughmond vs Ellesmere Rangers
Another crunch match in the West Midland Premier.
Ellesmere are re-vitalised under Dan Stevens and currently sit fifth, with Haughmond sixth.
The Shrewsbury side have been on a rapid rise in recent years and have excelled.
Haughmond do have quality in there ranks in terms of Steve and Carl Rogers, and I think it could be there day.
HOME WIN

St Martin's vs Wren's Nest
It hasn't been the best of starts for Ryan Butcher's side with just four points from four and the side sitting in 12th position.
Last week they narrowly went down in Hereford and with this week's opponents flying high in third, it could be more of the same.
AWAY WIN

Morda United vs Welshpool Town Reserves
It was Colin Turner's sides first defeat back in Wales last week against local rivals Trefonen.
Morda battled hard and took the game to extra time, but it is back to the league this week and Welshpool.
They sit above Morda with an extra point so it is hard to call this one at such an early stage.
Got to go with Morda though haven't I.
HOME WIN

Madeley Sports vs FC Oswestry Town
Four impressive points from two tough games see's Oswestry currently in 11th with Saturday's opponents two places behind.
Madeley stormed from Division One two years ago, but have struggled this campaign to get points on the board.
Another tough clash for Oswestry, but I have gone against them before and they have won, so I will give them a little more credit this week.
AWAY WIN

Gobowen Celtic vs Whitchurch Alport Reserves
Like I predicted it was a goal fest for Gobowen last week, and I think they might bag a few more this week looking at the table.
The management team from last seasons Cross Foxes side have done well to put such an impressive outfit together, and that shows in their league position of fourth.
With their opponents in 12th, I back Gobowen.
HOME WIN
