2007/2008 Season Match preview
TUESDAY, APRIL 22nd, 2008 - DERBYSHIRE SENIOR CUP FINAL, 2nd LEG
BELPER TOWN v ALFRETON TOWN. Kick-off 7.45pm

Alfreton Town will have to record their first victory in six games if they are to lift the Derbyshire Senior Cup on Tuesday night.
The Reds have to overturn a 3-2 first leg deficit against neighbours Belper Town who still harbour outside hopes of a play off place in UniBond League First Division South and for whom the tie is a second game in eight days to end the campaign unless they clinch a top five spot.
Reds manager Nicky Law is without the cup-tied Jordan Hall and suspended Kris Bowler who completes a two-game ban but he will have Mark Barnard back from a hamstring injury.
Alfreton Town from: Laurence Matthewson, Kyle Sutcliffe, Laurie Wilson, Anton Brown, Mark Barnard, Tony Butler (captain), Rob Pacey, Matt Wilson, Steve Warne, Chris Walton, Josh Law, Paul Clayton, Brian Cusworth, Danny Reet, Dan Gray, Matt Glass, Jason St. Juste, Massiah McDonald.

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.
