After last week’s 2-0 win on the road, the Robins welcome Grimsby Borough to the Daren Persson Stadium.
The Wilderness Boys make the 160 mile trip north on the back of a 1-0 win against Tadcaster Albion on Saturday, giving them their second win of the season.
Last seasons NCEL Premier Division champions appear to have taken time to acclimatize themselves in the Northern Premier League – East division as they currently sit in 18th place but have picked up form in recent weeks, winning two of their last three games and both wins against Tadcaster Albion.
Marc Nashs’ men come into the game on the back of 3 successive wins, scoring 5 goals and conceding just 1 along the way.
The Robins will be looking to extend their unbeaten run and continue to climb the table and move into the top half.
We hope for an entertaining game with a healthy crowd in attendance to cheer on the lads.
