Ware supporters will have noted Abbey's excellent win at Grays on Saturday and wondered about its implications for this match. By contrast Ware struggled to make the most of their opportunities against Mildenhall on the same day which suggests they may be up against it in this Boxing Day contest.
Even before our last meeting on August Bank Holiday when Yannick Kamanan won the game with a last minute chipped shot over Lewis Lockyer from extreme range we sat above Abbey in the league. The win moved us to seventh in the table whilst Abbey dropped to 15th.
No-one needs reminding that things have changed since then with Abbey sitting 8th after their 4-0 win at the weekend. So whilst Ware's rebuilding process will inevitably take time a point or three on Tuesday would provide a good starting point for the number of tough fixtures that lie in the near future.
Overnight rain is in the offing so keep an eye out for updates here and on social media but the main rain band forecast for Boxing Day is not now seen as due until the evening.
Don't forget that this match has a 1pm kick off.
