Sports can also finally unleash Polish striker Adrian Mizia after a six-week wait for international clearance. Mizia scored 24 goals in just 11 appearances for Peterborough Polonia in Peterborough League Division One earlier this season.

“It’s a big step up for Adrian,” Sports manager Jimmy Dean admitted. “But he looks sharp and aggressive in training and there’s only one way to find out whether or not he will cope.

“I know I’ve been banging on about our injuries all season, but it’s a fact we’ve been badly affected. When everyone is back we will climb the table.

“Spalding are in no sort of form, but they do still have a big budget and some top players.”

Sports’ scheduled fixture at Kidsgrove Athletic was postponed because of a frozen pitch last Saturday. They are six points clear of the one relegation place.

Sports are selling 100 tickets at £10 which will ensure admission to tomorrow’s game and the new years day clash with Stamford at PSL. Free hot mulled wine and mince pies will be handed out at half-time on Saturday.
