The Blues head to Hertfordshire tonight to face at Hitchin Town side in league action. The Blues have 28 points so far after 16 matches while the hosts sit in bottom position on 9 points, although they gained a decent point at Biggleswade Town on Saturday in a 0-0 draw.

Leiston gained another fantastic three points at the weekend as they defeated Stourbridge 2-1 thanks to two goals from Finlay Barnes, taking the midfielder to 9 goals for the season.

Adam Bailey-Dennis could be back in contention while young striker Kai Fletcher will be in the squad this evening. Kai rejoined the club from Needham Market last month and netted in the 2-2 draw for the Reserves on Saturday at Wisbech St Mary.

The Blues beat Hitchin just nine days ago in FA Trophy action at Top Field while last season the sides drew 2-2 in Hertfordshire. In February 2020, the game was abondoned due to a waterlogged pitch just before half time while in November 2018, Joe Jefford and Tom Bullard netted in a 2-2 draw.

Leiston have two home games to look forward to after this evening as they host Harrow Borough on Saturday in FA Trophy action while they welcome AFC Rushden & Diamonds to Suffolk next Tuesday.

On Wednesday night this week, the Reserves host Kirkley & Pakefield Reserves in the CNet Training Suffolk Senior Cup.

Stourbridge also host Nuneaton Borough in league action tonight.
