It should be a cup cracker with two accomplished Southern League Premier Division Central Division sides just two wins away from a place in the first round proper.

Sports, who saw Cameron Johnson leave the club today, won their first league game of the season, 3-0 against Barwell at the Bee Arena on Saturday.
