US head into the match in good form. Into the 2nd round of the Wessex League Cup and into the Quarter Finals of the Portsmouth Senior Cup.
Although Tuesday's performance against Baffins Milton Rovers was not the best, it was still enough to see the side through, a hat trick from Pete Lines enough to drag the team into the next round. In doing so, Pete became the player with the most appearances this season.
Cal Coker was not risked in the second half with a hamstring injury, Liam Bush made another appearance and made a good impact once again, with another assist for the youngster. On top of this, Mig Dark returns to the club, having been ineligible for the Portsmouth Senior Cup, will potentially make a first league appearance having re-signed for the club last week. Danny Sharratt has been carrying a knock for the last couple of weeks and may be an injury risk ahead of the match.
Our hosts, AFC Stoneham come into the game in unpredictable form, with only 1 win in the last 5 league matches, that coming 4 weeks ago at strugglers Pewsey Vale, but with a Hampshire Senior Cup victory against Southern League AFC Totton and a resounding Southampton Senior Cup win over Gulf Western. They sit in 12th place at the moment on 11 points, with an interesting goal scoring record having scored 21 and conceded 22 so far this term.
Players to which out for for the hosts include leading scorers Thomas King and David Philpott who both have a goal per game scoring average so far this season. If they play, they will certainly be players to look out for and players that will cause the US defence problems.
Kick off is at 3pm at The Elliot Arena.
