The Verdict

.

We are promised a run out for the first team.  It will be nice to see the lads playing again and their should be a decent turn out for the first pre-season fixture. Solihull are no mugs and challenged for promotion last year, finally finished 4th in the Dr Martens Western Division.

Prediction: Solihull 1-4 Walsall
