Rugby Town's search for their opening win of the season continues as Valley make the long trip to Devon to face Tiverton Town.

Rugby have endured a terrible start to the season having picked up just a single point from the opening four games - a repeat of last season's return.

Valley have also found the net just twice whilst conceding twelve goals in the process.

Saturday's opponents Tiverton have only performed marginally better. They too are without a win but have collected two draws.

Current form dictates that this weekend's meeting is unlikely to be a goalfest with only newly-promoted Didcot Town having scored fewer goals than Rugby or Tiverton.

Valley boss Tony Dobson will take heart from the performances last season against Tiverton as Rugby won both league encounters including a 1-0 win at Ladysmead in November.

Rugby are still without the services of goalkeeper Andy Stevens who is struggling with an arm injury so Dan Bell will continue in goal.

Defender Andy Commander, who was dismissed in midweek, is also unavailable while midfielder Neil Melvin is out with a hamstring injury picked up against Oxford.

Valley squad from: Dan Bell; Liam Nicell, Harry Donaghey, Craig Herbert, Delroy Gordon, Sean Castleton; Matt Gearing, Allando Davis, David Staff, Ben Twigger, Steve Purton; Josh Thompson, Jason Ramsay, David Kolodynski.
