The teams clash at PSL tomorrow (April 16) and both will be confident. Spalding dented the promotion hopes of Bedworth United with a 3-2 away win yesterday, while Sports were beating Sheffield FC 3-1 at home to make it four wins in five unbeaten matches.

Ben Davison, Daniel Brooks (penalty) and Jonny Lockie scored for Spalding who were 1-0 down early on, but 3-1 up before their hosts slotted a last-minute penalty. The Tulips are now 12th, one place and one point ahead of Sports.
