The form of Russ Wilcox’s Holy Blues, particularly at home, has been most impressive, with Trinity hoping to further dampen the spirits of the weekend's visitors. Eight league games without a win, The Green Army have three points to their name from the 24 available, with more than three times that points tally coming from games at home.
Recently parting ways with their long serving boss, Mark Bower and his assistant, Danny Boshell, they are currently being looked after by experienced players Gianlucca Havern and Oli Johnson. In their first game in temporary charge, BPA led 2-0 at half time against Matlock before falling to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of the Gladiators. Park Avenue's goals both scored by Myles La Bastide. Their second game fell victim to Storm damage, when they had hoped to be entertain Marine at the Horsfall Stadium, only to see their Monday night game postponed.
Currently sitting in 19th spot, 
just below the drop zone on goal difference, but with a game in hand over Basford sitting a place above them, the Holy Blues sit four places higher and six points better off, with a game in hand. This one certainly looks like presenting Wilcox’s charges with a different type of challenge and one that if passed with flying colours - will help to propel Trinity up the table. Please get yourselves along down to the Kal Group Stadium, at the traditional Northolme ground. Proudly wear your colours, and turn out in numbers.
Welcome
There is no Premier League or Championship football to distract you, so Sheffield Wednesday fans, Rotherham United fans, get yourselves down to DN21, take a watch of some of your bright young talents as they continue their development at Trinity during loan spells with the club. We've got Luke Jackson, Owls' keeper and Hamish Douglas and Joel Holvey making regular appearances from the Millers. A warm welcome awaits you!
Opposition
Leading the Park Avenue scoring charts is Will Longbottom with six league goals. A former Trinity loanee, making half a dozen appearances on loan from Doncaster. Another name that may be familiar is Preston; striker Jordan is our own Fraser Preston's elder brother. Perhaps this game is too early for the two siblings to come up against each other on the pitch, but maybe by the time the two sides meet in April, the sibling rivalry could commence...
Sponsors
A shout out to our special sponsors supporting the club this weekend: a set of supporters by the name of the Away Travel Group, aptly named due to the nature of their penchant for following the Holy Blues around the North of England, win, lose or draw! We also welcome our brilliant ball sponsor Stuart Hogg, and wish all of our sponsors a wonderful afternoon in our company. We thank them all, from the bottom of our heart, for their continued support and backing of the Holy Blues.
