start their trail in non-league's
premier cup compeition.
Rugby
have failed to hit form in the last
couple of games including last weekend's
disappointing 1-1 draw against Bedfont
but Valley boss Dave Stringer will
be hoping he can find the right formula
to return his side to form.
Last
season Rugby recorded impressive wins
in the FA Trophy making progress to
the 2nd Qualifying Round with a 1-0
win at Leighton and a 3-2
victory at Hemel Hempstead before
bowing out in unlucky circumstances
at Stocksbridge
Park Steels.

Evo-Stik League Northern First Division
South and are riding high in 3rd place.
Rugby

Sutton going back almost forty years
and today's meeting will be the 40th
between the sides.
Aside
from the long-term absentees Paddy
Connolly (knee), Danny Hall (knee)
and Lewis Haycock (ankle), Valley
are only missing defender Jamel Wilson
with a hamstring problem.
Stringer
could hand a debut to full back Alex
Austin, signed this week from Soham
Town Rangers.
Meanwhile
another new signing, 20-year-old former
Tamworth midfielder Seb Lake-Gaskin
unfortunately did not sign in time
to play in today's game.
Left
back Dominic Reece who received two
red cards in just eight appearances
for the club has been released.
