Playing their second game in three days, Grantham will be hoping its fifth time lucky on Thursday night when they play Whitby away.

It was heartbreak for the Gingerbreads on Tuesday night as they conceded a last minute goal at home to Hednesford Town, after captain Stefan Galinski had nodded home to give the Gingerbreads the lead.

Despite the result, Grantham remain 3rd in the table with four games to play, including fixtures against top of the league Altrincham and 2nd placed Warrington.

The home side Whitby have not had the most successful of seasons, sitting towards the lower end of the table in 21st position. The Seasiders will also be looking to return to winning ways after losing 3-0 at home to Matlock Town on Saturday. The defeat was their third in the past five games and stretched their winless run to four.

The previous encounter between the two sides back in August saw the Gingerbreads walk away with all three points thanks to goals from Lee Shaw and Danny Meadows in a convincing 2-0 win.

Adam Stevens has said the quick turn around in fixtures will give his side a chance to make up for Tuesday night: "Tuesday wasn't the result we wanted and we know we should have put our chances away and come away with all three points. We have a great opportunity to turn it around on Thursday and I am confident the lads will give 100% like they always do."

Tom Batchelor is back in contention as he served the final game of his four match suspension on Tuesday night. Whilst Luke Shaw still remains out injured as does Zayn Hakeem. The rest of the squad should be available for selection.
