The Bucks
The Bucks go into this game after progressing through to the Derbyshire Senior Cup final with a 3-1 win over Derby County’s Under 21’s.
Bobby Faulkner scored two goals before Oliver Ewing added a third to send them to their third consecutive final.
Following the win manager John McGrath said:
"We started brightly, dominated and moved the ball well. Derby came back at us but our energy levels were high. We should have avoided their goal, but it stirred us into more action.
What a good loan player Bobby Faulkner is proving to be. He scored with two outstanding headers, just about unstoppable.
So, it's back to the league next and we make the long trip to Oxford on Saturday. They're a good side and we'll have to take care."
The Bucks have made two signings this week to boost the squad. Keziah Martin has signed from Rushall and is a 24 year old midfielder and Norwich forward Daniel Ogwuru has joined on loan until the end of the season.
