CIRENCESTER entertain the FA Trophy holders tonight, but manager Brian Hughes has little time for big reputations.

Hednesford arrive at the Corinium Stadium as pre-season favourites for the Southern Premier Division, yet three games in and Ciren are sitting pretty in third with the former Conference club lagging behind in 14th.

And starting their first season in the top flight with two wins and a draw gives Hughes reason to be confident ahead of the clash.

He said: "We're not interested in who they (Hednesford) are or what they've done if they were that good they wouldn't have been relegated last season.

"I maintain if we play like we can we have nothing to fear.

"We've played two very good sides in Histon and Tiverton and I think we've proved to ourselves that we can do well at this level."

Defender Darren Robison (ankle) and forward Gareth Hopkins (back) could be back in contention after missing the last two games.

Supermarine travel to Marlow in Division One West.

Both sides have started the campaign with a win, a loss and a draw.

Winger Simon Futcher returns from suspension to feature for the first time this season but Giles Harris is out with another knee problem, likewise Matty Goodwin.

Chippenham stretched their lead at the top of the Southern Premier Division to three points after a 3-1 win at Team Bath last night.

Scott Walker took his season's goal tally to four in as many matches with a brace, while striker James Constable also nothed his fourth of the campaign after recovering from the dead leg that kept him out of the 1-1 draw with Rugby on Tuesday.

And, in the Screwfix Direct League Premier Division, Melksham beat Bitton 4-0.
