Valley host Blue Square Northern side Nuneaton Borough for what is becoming a regular pre-season fixture.

	Date Saturday 4th August 2007 Kick-off 3pm Venue Butlin Road, Rugby Comp Pre-Season Friendly David Staff played against Rugby for Nuneaton last July but the roles will be reversed tomorrow

Rugby have faced Nuneaton every season since 2004 and Boro have come out on top in each of the three meetings with a particularly comfortable 6-0 win coming last July.

That result appeared to be a precursor for Nuneaton's promotion challenge to return to Conference football, but instead they had a poor start and manager Roger Ashby was soon dismissed and replaced by assistant Kevin Wilkin.

Boro improved under Wilkin into 2007 and after finishing in mid-table, they are again set to mount an assault on the Blue Square Northern this season.

Rugby's side is set to include ex-Boro midfielder David Staff who agreed to join Valley last week along with Matt Gearing and Aaron Stringfellow.

With manager Billy Jeffrey on holiday, reserve manager Mark Fenemore and youth manager Chris Wells will oversee proceedings.

Jason Taylor (knee) and Andy Commander (hand) will be unavailable while Stefan Morley (shin) and Scott Musgrove (achilles) will have late fitness tests on Saturday afternoon.

Trialists Alex Bacherini, Fabien Smith and Tristan Kabongo will be hoping to make an impression as the new season draws closer.
