There are a handful of Saddlers currently out on loan, with players from the academy and first-team looking to impress and potentially force their way into Mat Sadler's first-team plans.
Jenson Kilroy — Hungerford Town
Jenson was named in the starting XI as Hungerford made their way to the Racecourse Ground, and took on Ascot United in the Berkshire & Buckinghamshire Senior Cup.
The match was a high-scoring affair with seven goals scored as Hungerford won 5-2 despite the home side sprinting into a two-goal lead with just six minutes on the clock when Lucias Vine bagged an early brace.
Town went on to cut their hosts' lead with fifteen minutes played when Tyrone Duffus struck home, with the goalscorer going on to be felled inside the area, allowing Louis McGrory to level from the spot.
Hungerford led for the first time with four minutes of the second-half on the clock, as McGrory struck again.
Further goals from Cameron Squires and Conor McDonagh gave the visitors a comfortable win following what was a whirlwind opening few minutes.
Ronan Maher — Tamworth
Ronan was named among the starters as the Lambs made their way to the Bolt New Lawn and took on Forest Green Rovers in the National League.
There were six goals scored on a rain soaked evening in Nailsworth as Forest Green ultimately took all three points.
Despite seeing Jordan Cullinane-Liburd dismissed with just five minutes played, it was Tamworth who would take the lead as Manny Duku smashed the ball home to open the scoring.
The home side levelled the scores via Kyle McAllister's penalty, before a Temi Babalola brace and Nick Haughton's strong strike gave Rovers some breathing space
Joe Rye netted after coming off the bench, giving the Lambs at least a little bit of hope as they fell to defeat under the lights.
Ronan played for just over an hour before being replaced by goal-scorer Rye as he and former Saddler Callum Cockerill-Mollett were allowed to rest their legs.
