Shenley will look to start their final three months together on a positive note on Easter Sunday.

The Phantoms will resume their league campaign with their first home game in five months.

They will face a Towcester Town Tigers side who have registered back-to-back league wins against Twyford United and Heelands Rangers.

New Covid-19 Guidance
Here is a summary of the FA's updated Covid-19 guidelines for step one of the government's roadmap out of lockdown:

Travel
There are no travel restrictions as such but you should minimise any unnecessary journeys and avoid travelling at the busiest times and routes.

Car sharing with people outside your household or support bubble is permitted as long as you follow the Government's guidance on safer travel, e.g. wear face coverings, open windows, etc…

Spectators
No spectators are allowed at grassroots football except for safeguarding purposes, which is limited to one parent or career per player. Any spectators must socially distance themselves from anyone outside of their household or support bubble.

Indoor facilities
Indoor facilities (e.g. changing rooms) must remain shut but toilets can be accessed up to 30 minutes before and after the match.

It is vital that everyone exercises the utmost care and rigour in observing these guidelines.

Team News
New signing Myron Auko and striker Mohammed Edris are unavailable. Midfielder Morgan Pugh trained on Thursday evening after recovering from a foot injury and is in contention for Sunday's clash.

There are 18 players available for selection. The line-up will be released at 5 pm today.

Towcester have 19 players signed on this season. Oliver Boyle will be the Tigers' danger man with five goals in thirteen starts since the start of last season. Elsewhere, Louis Dickens, Cristiano Primus and Oliver Taylor have all netted this season.

The Opposition
Towcester Town FC, which was founded in 1988, is an FA Chartered Standard Community Club, with 24 teams spanning the ages of U7 through to adults. Supported by its coaches and managers, the club aims to bring excellent footballing opportunities to the town.

In October 2013, Towcester Town Tigers, managed by George Boyle, won the U10 Stanair Cup in front of over 4,000 fans - a half time penalty shootout competition for grassroots football players at Sixfields Stadium, the home ground of Northampton Town.

Their reward was a training session by Northampton Town's coaches on the Sixfields pitch in April 2015.

In June 2015, the Tigers won the U12 cup in the Towcester Town 6-a-side Tournament. They went on to win the MKDDL league plate the following year.

In the 2017/18 season, they finished bottom of U14 Division 3 without winning a match (P16 D2 L12) due to an injury crisis, including a broken arm, sprained fingers and wrists, ankle ligament damage and back/hip injuries. However, they were runners up in a FA Futsal tournament in Buckingham.

The following season they finished second-bottom of U15 Division 2 with four wins from fourteen matches.

Last season, they played 10 games in U16 Division 2 before the season was curtailed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

This season, they've retained seven of their players from the previous season but lost their captain and goalkeeper Charlie Woodward along with top goalscorer Jake Hope. Nevertheless, they've won their opening two league games so far, scoring seven goals.

Fighting Talk
Striker Tom Beevor: "I’m very excited for the resumption of football and I would like to thank the NHS and all the key workers for their tremendous work throughout this pandemic. I know the boys will be ready to get back on the pitch and will start off with flying colours. It’s going to be difficult coming back after four months off but I have every belief in these boys to take off where we left things and compete for this league title. I also can’t wait to see the fans again and I’m sure they can’t wait to be back."

Defender Mitchell Brook: "Honestly, I couldn’t be happier for the return of football. It’s been a long wait but we can’t let the time lost affect our strong performances. I’m sure I can speak for everyone when I say that we can’t wait to get back on the pitch and do what we love to do."

Officials
Cameron Richardson will oversee the Phantoms' match this weekend. This will be his fifth match that he has refereed this season.

He has officiated the Phantoms once before this season: a 5-2 home win against Deanshanger Athletic in October.

Head to Head
These two sides have never played each other before.

Weather Forecast
It's forecasted to be sunny with a gentle breeze throughout the game. Temperatures are expected to be around 12°C. There is no chance of rain and the visibility will be good. [Source: BBC Weather]
