Eccleshall make the short journey to Leek Town tonight, to play the 2nd round of the Staffordshire Senior Cup, with the winners to play either Chasetown or Stoke City.
Leek of the Evo- Stick South league, sit just outside of the play off positions and have been in good form recently, winning three of their last six league encounters.
Eccy who lost their first league game under Dave Dale at Oswestry Town on Saturday will be looking to put in a decent performance against a side that are two divisions higher.
Looking ahead to the game Dave said : " it's a great opportunity for us to test our development and ability against opponents two steps higher than ourselves. There will be no pressure on us and it's a perfect time to enjoy what we are about with no league points at stake. I expect Leek to have a serious go at this competition and without doubt, field a strong team. It's an opportunity for our players to express themselves and test their ability as well as their know how against a side from a higher level".
