Back to the League! Scarborough Athletic (H): Match Preview

Sports will be looking to take their recent cup form into league action on Tuesday night as they take on league new comers Scarborough Athletic. With Sports scoring 10 goals in the last two cup matches, John McGrath will want to see his side take this form into what will be a very tough league match with the opponents sitting in the play off places going into the game. With Sports sitting 17th with only 2 league wins to date so far, its important to start picking up more victories and points to pull away from the danger zone and further up the table.

LAST TIME OUT
Our visitors tonight were in League action on Saturday as they were knocked out of the FA Cup in the 1st Qualifying Round by Marine. The Seadogs travelled North Ferriby United and moved up to third in the table with a 3-1 victory. Goals from Michael Coulson and James Walshaw turned the game around after Jordan Harrison put Ferriby ahead. This means Scarborough have lost only once in the league all season. Sports however were scoring for fun in Leicester as they booked their place in the 3rd Qualifying Round of the FA Cup with a 7-1 demolition of Step 6 side Anstey Nomads. Isai Marselia, Nathan Jarman, Oliver Roberts and Jimmy Phillips all netting in the game, with Marselia bagging an FA Cup hatrick.

SPORTS TEAM NEWS
With Pablo Mills returning to the fold last Saturday at Anstey, the defender is expected to be involved again tonight after recovering from a shoulder injury. Weather he starts or is on the bench again remains to be seen but still very positive news to have Mills back regardless. Niall Doran is definitely out with the availability of the other injured player Kevin Grocott unknown. Everybody else is presumed fit and available for selection.
