Four days after the first pre-season game against Knowle FC, The Moors travelled to Alvechurch FC, with the kick-off being brought forward due to the extreme heat conditions. The first half started lively with both teams looking sharp before Alvechurch opened the scoring through Wakefield. Wakefield raced onto a ball over the top and on the right-hand side of the 18-yard box, he cut back inside, delayed his shot and slotted the ball under the oncoming Nathaniel Ford. 1-0 Alvechurch. The first half continued in the same fashion, with both sides having chances and both keepers being heavily involved in the contest. But, late on, one of the Alvechurch defenders tried a back pass which never travelled and Joe Sbarra capitalised with a striker's instinct to slot past the keeper. Alvechurch 1-1 The Moors. The second half was much of the same, with both sides being very dangerous on the counter attack. In injury time Moors nearly snatched the win but a goal line clearance kept the score line at 1-1. Next up for The Moors is the Arthur George Cup game against Birmingham City on Wednesday, July 15th at 19:45 at Damson Park. Tickets for Wednesday's match are still on sale & can be purchased here Match report written by Bryan Connolly.
The Moors are back on their travels this weekend, hopeful of putting more minutes into the legs of the squad as well as getting our first victory of pre-season when we make the trip to Alvechurch. After tasting defeat in a closely-battled contest against Knowle in midweek, Chris Millington’s side will be hopeful of ending the weekend with a victory under their belts. Despite fielding two strong squads, a challenging pitch, and a remarkable strike, Knowle pulled off a major coup with a victory on Tuesday, with Saturday’s game an ideal time to put things right. Following an agreement between the two clubs before this weekend, the game will kick off at the rescheduled time of 12pm at the Lye Meadow Stadium. Here is everything you need to know ahead of our clash against Alvechurch FC. —— An overview of Alvechurch FC: Kyle Storer’s side currently competes in the Southern Football League, Premier Central division, which is the seventh tier of the English football pyramid. They finished 14 th last season, winning 14 of their 42 league games – scoring 49 goals in the process. Last season, the club went on a positive run in the FA Trophy, before being knocked out by National League side Yeovil Town on penalties in round four. There are three recognisable faces for Solihull Moors supporters this weekend, both on the pitch and in the dugout. Alvechurch play their home matches at Lye Meadow Stadium, where they’ve been located since 1957. Fun fact: the club paid just £1,000 to purchase the land for the stadium – crazy times. —— Head-to-head: Going into Saturday’s encounter, the two sides are yet to meet in a competitive fixture. Solihull slipped to a narrow defeat against Knowle in midweek, but dating back to last season, the club have won just one of their last five matches across all competitions. Meanwhile, Alvechurch picked up a 4-1 victory against Bedworth United in their opening pre-season clash, with former Tamworth forward Miracle Okafor getting on the scoresheet. Dating back to last season, Alvechurch have lost just one of their previous eight matches across all competitions, and have lost just once at home since March. —— Tickets: Tickets for Saturday’s visit to Alvechurch are available to purchase online right now – though there is yet to be confirmation as to whether you can pay on the gate, so please avoid the risk and buy before you travel. The prices are as follows; Adults (18-64): £10.00 Senior Concessions (65+): £8.00 Junior Concessions (14-17): £5.00 Under 14s: £0.00 There are no booking fees to pay when purchasing your tickets. —— Getting to the Stadium: Saturday’s fixture is a 12pm kick-off at the Lye Meadow Stadium, which is located on Redditch Road (B48 7RS). The closest train station is Alvechurch Station, which is located 0.9 miles away from the stadium. It is a four-minute car journey, or just shy of a 20-minute walk. Lye Meadow is just a short trip south of Alvechurch town centre, making the stadium easily accessible for supporters. —— In the dugout – Kyle Storer Solihull Moors will be facing off against a true club icon in former midfielder Kyle Storer, who will lead his Alvechurch side into battle on Saturday. The 39-year-old played a huge part in Solihull’s rise to the National League, spending five years with the club between 2018 and 2023, before moving on to Nuneaton. Across all competitions, Storer registered over 200 appearances for the club, contributing to a handful of goals and writing his name into the history books for the Moors. Storer has been with Alvechurch since the summer of 2025 both as a player and now as a manager. —— Familiar faces: Due to the distance between the two clubs, it is no surprise that they have both exchanged players over the years and youngster Billy Corns is no exception. The midfielder joined Alvechurch on a permanent deal from Solihull Moors in March, playing a key role in the remainder of the 2025/26 season and has recently signed an extended contract deal with the football club. Similarly, there is another familiar face for Moors fans in the presence of fellow midfielder Nick Clayton-Phillips. The 26-year-old underwent two separate loan spells with the club in 2020, first in the second half of the 2019/20 season and then again in September of the same year. He’s now in his third stint at Alvechurch. —— We hope to see as many of you as possible in Alvechurch on Saturday, as we continue our pre-season preparations ahead of the 2026/27 National League campaign.
