Match Preview

Its make or break time for the SHINERS as they enter the last third of the season. With 14 games left and trailing the table in fourth place they must try and achieve 90 points to be in with a realistic chance of winning the title. A maximum of 97 points can be accrued, but that would be an unbelievable run of form and Luck.

The must start at Ashby Ivanhoe who had a resounding league cup win in midweek, a 7 - 0 thrashing of Borrowash looks very impressive. The Leicestershire side have hit form since a change in management and they will be a hard nut to crack. The SHINERS though have a good record at Ashby, enjoying league cup wins and impressive league wins over the last 3 seasons.

They will be looking for revenge for an early season 2 - 0 defeat at the MJR but the priorty is not to get beat and hopefully return with 3 points.

Manager Tom Leighton has a abundance of goal scoring talent to rely on with the lastest recruit being Martin Smyth from Rocester and with Mark Strzyzweski finishing a 1 match ban he will be expected to rejoin the defence after his side leaked 3 goals at table topping West Bridgford.
