Reds hunt Championship Trophy

Last updated : 09 August 2004 By Chris Laker
Francis Vines's men defeated Tamworth 3-0 to win the trophy last time out, and will be keen to go into their Conference opener at Leigh RMI next weekend on the back of a successful defence.

Town will look to bed down their first-choice line-up, which means Andy Little should take his place between the sticks, having seen off the challenge of new stopper Phil Smith.

Midfielder Nick Roddis could come in for Rob Kember, while Danny Davidson should be preferred to fit-again Daniel Marney. Sean Hankin could snatch a place on the bench as he returns to full fitness.

Visiting Moor Green gained their place in the final as runners-up to Reds in the league cup.

New signing Darren Middleton from Worcester should start in attack, while former Tamworth full-back Richard Follett is also set for a debut.
