History of the Stevenage Borough v Halifax Town fixture

Stevenage B. prepare to entertain Halifax Town at Broadhall Way at lunchtime on Saturday, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having managed to conjure up a win from 5 of the previous 7 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Broadhall Way was less than a year ago, in November 2004, the Boro carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Conference match.
