Blues Reserves Face West Brom

Last updated : 09 March 2005 By Brian Cartlidge
Keith Bertschin's second string will be looking to do a little better than what Steve Bruce's first team did at the same ground just two days ago!!

In the corresponding fixture last season, on 26th November 2003, Blues Reserves earned a point from a goalless draw against The Baggies at Kidderminster's Aggborough Stadium.

The first fixture between the two sides this season back in October 2004 also ended 0-0 at Damson Park.

Recent encounters between the teams:
