Rod Brown's Rugby Town side host Clevedon Town this afternoon looking to make it three wins on the bounce and climb further towards BGB Premier Division safety.

Victories against Mangotsfield United and Banbury United in the last two outings have lifted Valley to 15th in the table but Rugby are still just three points above the drop zone making another win vital.

With Cheshunt already condemned to relegation and Cirencester seemingly doomed, Merthyr Tydfil in 14th place down to Mangotsfield in 20th place are all involved in a battle to avoid the final two relegation spots.

Easter Monday's win against Banbury represented the first back-to-back wins for Rugby since September when Valley recorded three straight wins against King's Lynn, Gloucester and Bedford.

However, the task for Rugby today will not be easy against a Clevedon side who were at one point play-off contenders.

The Seasiders had risen to 5th in the table before having a 2008 to forget so far. Up until last Monday, Clevedon had managed just one win in fifteen since the turn of the year although this run included an incredible eleven draws!

There was the possibility they could be sucked into the relegation battle until Monday's 2-1 win over Mangotsfield United.

With so many draws recently, people could be forgiven for predicting the result to be all square this afternoon, especially given that five of the seven meetings at Butlin Road between the sides have finished as draws.

Rugby's head to head record against Clevedon is pretty dreadful with no wins at Butlin Road and just two wins out of fourteen overall. The Seasiders have won their last four meetings against Rugby, including one FA Trophy tie earlier this season, scoring three goals each time.

News from the dressing room is that Rod should have a full squad to choose from apart from Akin Aladetoun who will be missing through injury after returning from his loan at Bedworth. David Staff and Scott Musgrove are both fit and available for selection but striker Avun Jephcott is unlikely to feature due to not yet gaining International Clearance following his spell in Ireland.

Rugby Town Squad From: Richard Anstiss, Rob Oddy, Aaron Stringfellow, Stephan Morley, Craig Herbert, Delroy Gordon, Richard Scott, Neil King, Tom Breward, Kieran Fitzharris, Mark Edge, Scott Musgrove, David Staff, David Kolodynski, David Stone, Dave Pearson.
