Rugby
recorded a 2-0 win against promotion
hopefuls Slough Town in their last
outing at Butlin Road three weeks
ago although since Valley have suffered
two disappointing away defeats to
St Neots and Uxbridge.
Dave
Stringer's men will be looking to
bounce back against a Bedfont side
who currently sit third from bottom.
However
if last season's encounters are anything
to go by, this afternoon's game will
be extremely tough and their current
league position most likely belies
the team's ability.
Last
season Bedfont made a similarly poor
start but recovered with a strong
second half of the season to finish
in the top half.
In
the two meetings between the sides
last season Rugby recorded wins both
home and away with a 4-2
win at Butlin Road almost a year
ago and a 3-2
win at Bedfont in April this year.
Valley
boss Stringer will be hoping that
full backs Gary Moran (ankle) and
Jamel Wilson (hamstring) are both
fit to feature after picking up knocks
last week.
Meanwhile
Rugby hope to have secured the services
of Barwell winger Harry Harris in
time for this afternoon's game.
The
23-year-old former Walsall trainee
has had spells with Hinckley United,
Chasetown and Rushall Olympic.
Otherwise
Stringer will have to decide whether
to shuffle his pack after last Saturday's
disappointing reversal against Uxbridge.
Valley
Squad from: Louis Connor,
Pete Smith; Gary Moran, Dominic Reece,
Niki Preston, Melvin Gourlay, Jamel
Wilson; Robbie Banks, Ben Steane,
Richard Wesley, Andy Gundelach, Adam
Khan, Lynval Da Costa, Ryan Isherwood,
Adam Cayless, Harry Harris; Seb Hamilton,
Tyrone Fagan, Luke Keen.
