TUESDAY, APRIL 8th, 2008 - DERBYSHIRE SENIOR CUP FINAL, 1st LEG

ALFRETON TOWN v BELPER TOWN. Kick-off 7.45pm

Alfreton Town will be looking to build up a first leg lead when they entertain local derby rivals Belper Town in the final of the Derbyshire Senior Cup on Tuesday night.
It is Alfreton’s 16th appearance in the final but they are aiming to win the competition for the first time since 2003 as they face Belper in the final for only the second time ever, the Nailers having won 2-1 on aggregate in 1979/80.
The Reds have won it eight times in 1960/61, 69/70, 72/73, 73/74, 81/82, 94/95, 2001/02 and 2002/03 and lost seven finals in 1962/63, 64/65, 77/78, 79/80, 84/85, 87/88 and 92/93.
The Nailers will have leading goalscorer Ross Hannah back in contention for a place having missed the last three games through suspension.
Reds manager Nicky Law is set to name former Mansfield Town striker John McAliskey in his squad for the first time.
However, Law is without the cup-tied Jordan Hall, and injured quintet Kyle Sutcliffe, Anton Brown, Josh Law, Rob Pacey and Laurie Wilson as well as the unavailable Kyle McFadzean.
Alfreton Town from: Laurence Matthewson, Mark Barnard, Kris Bowler, Tony Butler (captain), Matt Wilson, Steve Warne, Chris Walton, Paul Clayton, Brian Cusworth, Danny Reet, John McAliskey, Dan Gray, Matt Glass, Jason St. Juste, Massiah McDonald, Jacob Walters-Lang, Dereck Dooley, Joe Forster.
The second leg is on Tuesday, April 22nd at Christchurch Meadow, kick-off 7.45pm.
