Also a reminder that singer AJ Walker is performing at Wilfrid's Club at 7:30pm after the game.

The Opposition

The Rammy are looking to build on a play-off semi final defeat last season, and are doing so pretty well in 4th place.

22 goals from attacker Jacob Holland-Wilkinson has helped his side become the third top goalscorers in the Premier Division, with 61, but a whopping 85 in all competitions.

17 goals from striker Matthew Dudley have also made a huge contribution.

New signings Finlay Cross-Adair and Tom McCann also add quality.

They also boast the best defensive record in the league, having conceded just 23 goals.

However, a fairly even record with the Ridge means it could go either way.

Rammy will be all rested, having not played in 20 days due to postponements.

Team News

With both sides on different ends of the form table, both are still looking to continue different pushes.

Town remain in the top half of the table, but only just.

Debutant Oscar Wright scored on his debut last week, after joining on a month's loan from Morecambe.

Town will be hoping their fantastic home form will play a key part in tomorrow's game.
