It's a break from League action for Quentin Townsend's Droitwich Spa FC, as Spa travel to Thornbury Town in the Challenge Cup 3rd Round on Saturday (ko 3pm).
The Saltmen have been on a poor run of form which currently stands at five straight defeats, however performances have been encouraging despite the score-lines, and late goals have cost Spa dearly.
Four of those five defeats have come Away from Kingy's, and Droitwich will be looking to get back on track this Saturday and progress to the 4th Round in a competition that they reached the Final in last season.
On another note, Spa benefit from the return from injury of Rohan Levy, who has started the last two games, whilst George Dalton and Nathan Binner, who both recently picked up knocks, will be available again for selection.
Meanwhile James Lemon, Curtis Smith & Lewis Phillips will all miss out due to injury.
Spa's Captain required stitches after receiving a head injury at Hereford Pegasus on Tuesday night, on his first game back after suspension.
The two sides met last month, and Spa, playing the majority of the game with 10 men, earned an excellent point in a 1-1 draw at Mundy Fields.
Since the previous meeting, high-flying Thornbury have seen a dip in their own form as they have drawn one and lost five of their last six games, scoring just three goals; a run that has seen them slip from 2nd in the table to 8th.
Both sides are suffering from low confidence and will be eager to turn the tide this Saturday to progress in the Cup, where there must be a winner on the day. It looks set to be a fascinating encounter.
Both Managers will have an eye on their respective tricky games on Tuesday evening when Thornbury travel to Cirencester and Droitwich have a derby at Stourport Swifts.
We wish all Droitwich supporters a safe trip down and look forward to seeing you there.
