Gordon
was a scorer in the 3-2 win over Cheshunt
in the corresponding fixture two seasons
ago but the 22-year-old has been out
for the last five games following
a knee operation.
Delroy
was an unused substitute at Hitchin
on Tuesday but Rugby manager Billy
Jeffrey is expected to welcome Gordon
back to the starting XI, espcially
given Leigh Platnauer's suspension.
18-year-old
forward David Kolodynski serves the
final game of his 3-match suspension.
Another
possible returnee on Saturday is Scott
Musgrove, who has missed the last
four games with an ankle injury.
Despite
their 3-0 home success over Swindon
Supermarine last Saturday, the Ambers
are still firmly rooted to the foot
of the table, with just six points
from ten games, and manager Tom Loizou
will be looking for a repeat of the
corresponding fixture last season,
which saw the Valley lose out by two
goals to one.
That
result helped Cheshunt finish in 16th
- one place above Town - at the end
of the 2006-07 campaign, although
the two teams were only separated
by goal difference.
Saturday's
match will kick-off slightly earlier
than normal at 1 pm, to allow fans
to watch the England-Estonia European
Championship Qualifying game later
in the afternoon.
There
is a coach travelling to the game,
which will leave the clubhouse at
9.30 am. For further information regarding
this please contact Tony Mann on 07970
691366.
