Game 17/42. Leiston find themselves in 8th position after last Saturday’s 4-1 lose to AFC Rushden & Diamonds. The Blues have Noel Aitkens back after he missed last weekends defeat through suspension, while Patrick Brothers is also back fully fit. Ashley Nichols is unavailable and Charlie Beckwith has been recalled from his loan spell at Whitton United as Marcus Garnham came off injured last Saturday. If captain Tom Bullard plays tomorrow, he will be making his 200th club appearance.

Stourbridge is located in the West Midlands and they are nicknamed ‘the Glassboys’. They sit in second place, behind Kettering Town on goal difference, but have played two games more than Kettering. Stourbridge were formed in 1876 and were originally known as Stourbridge Standard. They were elected into the Southern League in 1971, but moved back into the Midland Football Alliance league at the start of the Millenium. They lost to AFC Sudbury in the quarter-finals of the FA Vase in the 2004/2005 season, and reached the FA Cup First Round for the first time in their history in 2009, before losing 1-0 at home to Walsall. Two years later, they reached the Second Round of the FA Cup after they beat Plymouth Argyle 2-0 in a Replay that was shown on ESPN. They lost in the Second Round to Stevenage.
