On Saturday, less than 48 hours prior to this Bank Holiday game, both sides came back from a goal behind. Trinity snatching a 93rd minute winner courtesy of Will Lancaster, while the Tigers roared to life in the second half, having fell behind to Nobby Solano's Blyth Spartans.

Five goals in 33 minutes, at home to Blyth followed hot on the heels of six in 38 minutes in midweek, when they put eight past Matlock Town, so whilst the Holy Blues have been travelling the 420 odd miles to Hebburn Town on Tuesday and Leek on Saturday, Worksop were enjoying home comforts and significantly boosting their Goals For column.

Former Trinity man, Liam Hughes has four to his name, while four players have two a piece, including another former Blue, Josh Wilde. The goals really being shared around by Worksop after a couple of disappointing results saw points dropped. On opening day against Macclesfield. A game they lost 1-0 and away at Bamber Bridge in a goal-less draw.

Despite the impressive, recent ruthlessness, Russ Wilcox's men will be confident in their own ability to affect the visitors. Last season's Golden Boot Winner, Declan Howe is up and running with three goals already this campaign and Will Lancaster has a couple to his name too.
