Buildbase FA Trophy action is next on the agenda for Boston United when they make a quickfire return to Hurst Cross on Saturday afternoon.

Three weeks after sharing a 1-1 draw with Ashton United in their own backyard, the Pilgrims will be aiming to make knockout progress in the FA Trophy for the first time since 2014 when they reconvene on Tameside (kick-off 3.00pm).

Brad Abbott is back in contention for the Pilgrims, having served a two-match suspension following his dismissal at Ashton on November 3.

Boston boss Craig Elliott is also hopeful of having winger Nicky Walker available after heel troubles ruled him out against AFC Telford United and Southport over the last two weekends.

Since the last meeting between the sides, Ashton have defeated Guiseley 1-0 and lost 3-2 at leaders Bradford Park Avenue, despite holding a 2-0 lead for much of the contest.

Saturday's match referee is Aaron Jackson.

Should a replay be required, it will be staged at The Jakemans Stadium on Tuesday (November 27, kick-off 7.45pm).

POSTCODE FOR SAT NAV: OL6 8DY.
BUSA COACH DEPARTURE: 10.30am.
UNITED COLOURS: Amber/Black.
