Tamworth travel to Leiston

A Long trip to the coast

<1R>The Blues find themselves bottom of the table after heavy defeats to both AFC Rushden & Diamonds and Rushall Olympic, although it’s very early on in the season. Five teams find themselves on 1 point at this stage of the season. Boss Stuart Boardley is without George Keys, who serves his one-match ban, while Will Davies is out injured. However, striker Ryan Sharman is fit after being out injured for the start of the campaign. If selected, Matt Blake will make his 150th club appearance for the Blues at the weekend.

Meanwhile, Tamworth has four points from their first three games. They drew 1-1 on the opening day of the season at St Ives Town, before going down 3-1 at home to Bromsgrove Sporting. But they did record their first win of the season last weekend against Peterborough Sports, winning 3-1.

Last season, goals from Jake Reed and Christy Finch put the Blues two goals ahead before the break but in the second half, Tamworth pulled two back to level. In the reverse fixture, Tamworth won 5-0 in April.
