Saints aim to round the year off in style

The win, Saints’ biggest in the league since overcoming Kenilworth Town 10-0 on 27 December 1999, was described by Fogarty as “a nice Christmas present”.

He added: “We have been threatening to do that for some time and it was one of those matches where everything fell into place.

“I was worried that, being four up at the break, we would take our foot off the gas in the second half but, to be honest, we could have scored a lot more.”

Saints will be without captain John Blunsom, who starts a three-match suspension following his sending-off against Earlswood Town, as well as Andy Millan who has picked up a one-match ban for five bookings.

But, experienced defender Quentin Townsend is available, having completed his suspension, and Tunde Ajibade, who was ill for the JKS match, should also be in contention.

Forward Danny Bartle has left the club, but there is still plenty of competition for places, leaving Fogarty with some difficult decisions to make.

“Both Matt Ross and Charlie Neale played well together in the centre of defence against JKS and Matt Oliver did a great job in goal while Jim Stott was injured,” said Fogarty.

“But, these are the kind of selection headaches that any manager would like to have.”

With a 12.30pm kick-off, Saints are hoping to attract extra support from Leamington fans, who can take in the match before going to the New Windmill for the encounter with Frome Town.

Members of the Vice Presidents Club, season-ticket holders or Brakes Trust members will receive a free programme on presentation of their passes.

Racing Club Warwick meanwhile, travel to Bartley Green for a 3pm kick-off in search of their first league victory since November 5.
