After 3 cup games in a row Didcot Town return to league action with a tough looking trip to current league leaders Peterborough Sports on Saturday afternoon. Since Didcot's poor performance and result at North Leigh, Andy Ballard's side have responded in the perfect way with a victory over Cambridge City followed by 2 away cup cup wins at Aylesbury and Wingate & Finchley before Tuesday's Southern League Challenge Cup win against Thame United. Peterborough Sports meanwhile have 4 league wins out of 4 alongside 2 FA Cup wins which makes their record this season the perfect 6 wins out of 6 which shows the task ahead of Ballard's side.
It won't be easy for Didcot and the task is made tougher by the fact the Railwaymen will be without 7 first team players for Saturday's trip. Midfielders Callum McNish and Michael Alexis are both suspended, forwards Aaron Woodley and Ross MacDonald are away while George Reid, David Murphy and Lance Williams are all injured. Ryan Markham left the club last night and has returned to Wantage Town.
After Didcot's impressive win over Thame on Tuesday youngsters Callum Young and Caelan Isaac are in the squad for Saturday along with 2 goal scorer Siji Akinlusi.
For Didcot supporters we are running a coach to the game on Saturday departing the Loop at 9:45am, please arrive early to secure your seat which will be done on a first come first served basis costing £15 per head.
