The two sides have met twice already this season with Blisworth winning on both occasions, 3-2 on the opening day of the season and more recently 3-0 in a League Cup Quarter Final match.

Blisworth are still missing a few key players due to injuries with the current relentless schedule beginning to take its toll but Dale Lewis is back from suspension.

The Development Team travel to The Rockingham Triangle to face top of the table Weldon Reserves.

Blisworth have not played a league game since losing the County Cup Final on the 21st and now face a run of 4 games in 10 days as they look to secure the 4 points they need to guarantee a top three finish and promotion.

The young squad has exceeded all expectations so far and they will be hoping the front four of Liam & Chris Culley, Harry Cowley and Ollie Buchan can fire the goals to take the team to promotion.

Both games kick off at 2-30pm.
