Tough test awaits as we head to Vanarama National League high-flyers...

THE WHITE Tigers take a break from the battle for League points as we return to our Buildbase FA Trophy campaign with a first round tie at Sutton United on Saturday (kick-off 3.00pm).
The previous round saw us chalk up a 3-1 victory at Lewes to set up this tie against a side who are flying high in second place in the Vanarama National League table.
“It’s another big Cup day for us that we are looking forward to,” said manager, Lee Hodges. “We will go there and enjoy the occasion with no pressure.
“The lads are looking forward to testing themselves against one of the top sides from the level above, so we’ll see what happens.
“It’ll be tough on the 3G surface, but we will prepare in the right way and go there prepared to work hard and battle for everything.”
Our last game saw us share the spoils with a 2-2 draw at Welling United last weekend, whilst Sutton United were going down to a 4-1 defeat at struggling Leyton Orient, although despite this set-back, they have won four of their last six games.
Leading the goalscoring stakes for our hosts is Craig Dundas and Tommy Wright, who have seven goals apiece.
For The White Tigers, Cody Cooke will be looking to add to his tally having reached double figures in the last game and Tyler Harvey is also in good form in front of goal.
