Abingdon United manager Richie Bourne says his side must sort out their defending when thet visit Cirencester United in Division 1 South & West tomorrow following last week’s 3-2 loss at Merthyr.

“We should have got something, but we made mistakes and got punished.

“We’ve got plenty of firepower now, but we need to tighten up at the back.”

North Leigh boss Mark Gee has praised his side’s attitude in the 4-0 win against leaders Poole and wants a repeat show at Cinderford Town.

“We were decent on Saturday and broke quickly on them, so I was pleased.”

He added: “Every week there is an upset in this league, so you have to be at your best in every game.”

North Leigh will be without Michael Alexis (hamstring), though Kieran Sanders and Wayne Turk return.

Abingdon Utd: Durrant, Baker, Crudup, Halliday, Carnell, Melledew, Whitehead, Self, Tucker, Young, Nowell, Biddle, Riccio, Evans, Foster.
