Match Preview

Leiston host West Midlands side Rushall Olympic for a first ever meeting this afternoon. The Blues will be without defender Kyle Hammond as he continues his suspension.

Leiston defeated Haverhill Rovers 6-1 on Tuesday night in the Suffolk Premier Cup at Victory Road. Matt Blake (hat-trick), Matt Rutterford, Robert Eagle and Christy Finch were all on target.

Rushall are currently 12th in the league table, with 17 points from their 14 league matches. They started up in the 1890's but were re-formed in 1951. They won promotion to Step 3 football in 2011 for the first time as they beat Grantham Town 2-0 in the play-off final. They have won the Walsall Senior Cup on five occasions, but have never reach the First Round of the FA Cup. The furthest they have got in the FA Vase is the 5th Round in 2001, while they got to the FA Trophy First Round Proper in the 2012-2013 season.
