Thatcham Town v Hungerford Town
When: 12th November 2019
Where: Stacatruc Stadium, RG19 4PA
K.O 7.45 PM
A tasty derby to kick off both clubs Berks and Bucks campaign. This cup is definitely not of high agenda for both of these clubs but this game will be taken seriously. The hosts are flying high in the Southern league division one South currently sitting second in the table but were brought back down to earth on Saturday with a thrashing at Enfield. Having the weekend off may be beneficial to Ian Herring's side with the Hungerford chief expected to go strong for this cup tie. Local derbies don't come much bigger than this!

Form guide- Thatcham crashed out the FA trophy getting beat 5-0 by Enfield on Saturday. Two of their last three league games have been postponed due to the FA trophy. They beat Barnstaple 5-1 last weekend in there last league game. Hungerford's clash with Tonbridge was called off on Saturday meaning their last game came against Braintree Town when they won 3-0. Before that they lost 2-0 at home to Hampton and won 2-0 at Concord Rangers.

Team news - The hosts have a few injury concerns. Curtis Angel, Matt Partridge, Jack Stanley, John Beeden, Joe Selman and Gareth Thomas are all out in a long list of absentees for manager Danny Robinson to deal with. Sam Barder is also a doubt for the game. The visitors are in better shape but will be without midfielders Yan Klukowski and Louis McGrory. Mike Jones trained with the squad last week and is in contention to return to the squad for Tuesday's game. Despite this being a cup tie Adam Siviter is expected to keep his place in goal ahead of deputy Tommy Rees.

Star man - Felipe Barcelos is in hot form for the Kingfishers, netting 16 goals in 14 appearances for the club this season. If he plays on-loan midfielder Cameron McGilp will be one to watch out for the Crusaders otherwise ex-Kingfisher's Liam Ferdinand and Zidan Akers will take centre stage to give the visitors the attacking impetus.

Head to head - These rivals last met twice last season in friendlies at Bulpit Lane. Thatcham won 6-5 on penalties on their first visit and 3-1 on their second visit.
