Struggling St Ives Town will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Hednesford Town in the upcoming league round. It’s 20th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Hednesford Town could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Non League Premier: Southern game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Leiston. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
