Midland Alliance club Stourbridge's hopes of ground sharing with rivals Halesowen Harriers received a major boost this week when they agreed terms with their neighbours.

The club has been looking for a suitable ground up to Dr Martens League standard since winning the Alliance last season only to be denied promotion.

Bosses have been in talks with Harriers ever since and contracts are now in the process of being drawn up.

Dr Martens League chiefs will need to inspect the Hayes Park ground to see if it meets their standards. It is understood some work would be needed to bring the ground up to scratch.

Club spokesman Nigel Gregg says the club sees the move as the best way of securing they have a good enough ground for promotion.

He said: "The deal has been agreed but obviously there is a long way to go.

"First we need to get the necessary ground grading, and then we need to win the league."
