STOKE travel to Suffolk on Sunday afternoon to face table toppers and pre-season title favourites Mildenhall in the Travel Plus National League, 3pm.
The Potters will face a stiff test against the Tigers who are unbeaten in the league this season and have a 11-point lead over nearest rivals Kent who have rode the same number of matches. Stoke welcome back Max Clegg who missed Saturday’s draw with Coventry while Connor Coles deputises for Tony Atkin.
The Fen Tigers have teenage sensation Drew Kemp leading the side. Kemp turned 16 years old on Saturday and has gone from reserve to number 1 in the team and he is well supported by Josh Bailey, Danny Ayres and Ryan Kinsley who are all averaging over 8 points a meeting with skipper Jordan Jenkins completing the top five. Matt Marson and Sam Bebee complete the Tigers septet.
Potters skipper Rob Shuttleworth commented “It will be a difficult meeting, Mildenhall are not where they are for no reason and we will be going down there to give it our best shot.”
