Rugby got off to a winning start to the league campaign for the first time in eight years with a 1-0 win over Chertsey at Butlin Road on Saturday and Valley boss Dave Stringer will be hoping to make it two out of two.

Leighton finished just one place behind Rugby in seventh last season and with both sides looking to go one better and secure a play-off place, Valley's first away trip should be a tasty encounter.

The Reds enjoyed an opening day win themselves with a last-minute goal sealing victory away to AFC Hayes on Saturday.

The game is a repeat of the dead rubber final game of last season when Leighton ran out 4-1 winners at Lake Street, although all three encounters were tough games.

Rugby did, however, seal a 1-0 win over the Reds in the FA Trophy last season away from home.

Stringer will be hoping to call on the services of new goalkeeper Pete Smith who should be recovered from a shoulder injury although Saturday's new keeper Louis Connor had an excellent debut, saving a late penalty.

Rugby will still be without left back Danny Hall (holiday) and midfielder Paddy Connolly (knee).

Valley Squad from: Louis Connor, Pete Smith; Gary Moran, Dominic Reece, Nick Preston, Melvin Gourlay, Jamel Wilson; Ben Steane, Richard Wesley, Andy Gundelach, JJ Cole, Adam Khan, Lynval Da Costa, Steve Evans; Seb Hamilton, Lewis Haycock, Tyrone Fagan.
