PREVIEW: Heather St John's (A) - Lutterworth Athletic

Heather St John's vs Lutterworth Athletic Match Preview

Tuesday 11th August 2026

Lutterworth Athletic First Team make the trip to St John's Park to take on Heather St John's on Tuesday evening.

Atho come into this one with three wins on the bounce, after a dramatic late win in their last match against Stapenhill.

Captain Alex Vineall gave Atho the lead shortly before half time, before Alex Webb converted a penalty in the last minute of the match to seal a 2-1 win.

Hosts Heather come into this one off the back of a 4-2 win at Ingles on the weekend, with a brace from Jack Hession and Kyle Jardine sealing the three points.

Tonight is their first home match of the season for Heather, after three straight away matches to start the campaign.

A former Atho player now representing Heather St John's is centre back Ben Whitehead-Thompson.

In this very fixture last season, Heather ran out 3-0 winners in a strong performance from the hosts at the back end of last season as they pushed to secure a play-off spot, with goals from Sam Grouse, Jack Robinson and Will Groocock.

Grouse got on the scoresheet in the reverse earlier in the season at Ausden Clark Arena back in October 2026, alongside Nathan McGarrity, as Heather won 2-1 over Atho, with Abdul Bambah pulling a goal back for Lutterworth Athletic.
