Nathan Collins' seventh-placed side - a point behind Heather and Boston - are looking to bounce back following Saturday's defeat at leaders Long Eaton United.

Sleaford Town will return to action for the first time in four weeks this afternoon.

Following blank weekends and postponements, Tom Ward's Greens entertain second-place Gresley Rovers at Eslaforde Park.
