After two games without a victory, manger Bernard McNally will be hoping it is a case of third time lucky when the Pitmen head to Brackley Town on Saturday.

Brackley have endured a similar mixed start to the campaign, having gained nine points from their ten league matches played so far, something they will be looking to improve on as they aim to avoid the last day tension they suffered last time around when a victory over ourselves secured their place at this level for another season.

The indifferent start saw manager Jon Brady depart from his role last week with experienced defender Frank Sinclair being placed in temporary charge.

The Pitmen head south to take on a side containing a number of familiar faces with no less than four players having made the switch from Keys Park to Brackley over the summer, Dan Crane being joined by Richard Batchelor, Glenn Walker and Steve Diggin.

McNally is set to be able to call upon the services of everyone apart from Adam Thomas this weekend with Tom James having recovered from an injury which has kept him out of the last two league games.

The game, which kicks off at the usual time of 3.00pm, will see Hednesford wearing their home strip.
