The first team fixture against Frickley Athletic has fallen victim to a frozen pitch, but the Under 15s have the opportunity to play thanks to the 4G surface at Shelfield Academy.
Under 15s manager Chris Allen told rofc.co.uk "The 4G surface is playable at temperatures down to -8 degrees Celsius so we are confident of the game going ahead. Standing on the touchline I hope it will be a lot warmer than that.
"We wanted the game to go ahead as the number of postponements and the Christmas break has really got in the way of the long term development programme we have in place. This was shown up in the recent defeat to Wolves Casuals."
Youth Development Secretary, Dan Hopley added, "The result isnt the main focus with the Junior sides and it was gratifying to see that the opposition coach praised the way the lads went about their business.
"We are delighted to be able to access the excellent facility at Shelfield to see the game go ahead and this is the start of an exciting link up between the club and the local Academy."
The Under 14s who are flying high in the table are not in league action this week meaning all the focus is on the Under 15s as they face Bilbrook Juniors in the Midland Junior Premier League.
If you want to show your support for the next generation of Rushall players the game is at Shelfield Academy, Broadway, Pelsall, WS4 1AN. Kick off is at 11.15.
