Preview: ATFC Lions vs. We Hate Ben

We Hate Ben take on a team who consider WHB to be rivals, in what could be a highly-charged match between two sides having very different seasons. ATFC Lions currently sit rock bottom of League Two, having lost all four of their games, conceding seventeen goals in the process. We Hate Ben however seem to have put their disappointing defeats against On The Pier and Sons Of Pitches behind them, and have now cruised to two wins on the bounce, scoring eight goals and conceding one.

The two have played each other once already this season, with WHB winning 4-0 in the Aberystwyth Town Cup. With this and the two sides current form in mind WHB are strong favourites for the match.

We Hate Ben will be without Jack Thomas and Nathan Leach, meaning that stand-in goalkeeper Stuart Fleming will continue deputising between the posts. Dave Norbury is currently on leave but may return before the match. Ben Court and Lee Mackin will again be missing, and Matt Sermon will have a fitness test before the game.
