Rushall victory vital - boss

Boss Paul Holleran insists it's vital Rushall collect three points against Bishops Cleeve tonight - because Olympic don't know when they'll play a league game again.

Tonight's Dales Lane clash is only Rushall's sixth game in Southern One Midlands this season because of their cup exploits.

The Pics will be in FA Trophy action this weekend and then face either Hednesford or Alfreton in the third qualifying round of the FA Cup a week on Saturday.

Those commitments me-an it could be late October before Holleran's men take the field again in the league, and he doesn't want to be left playing catch-up.

"It's important we get something out of the game tonight because we don't know when we will play in the league again," said Holleran.

"You always know that if you progress in the FA Cup you will have to rearrange league games, but we will take that fixture pile up because it is the FA Cup.

"Bishops Cleeve have been doing well recently, but they've played a couple games. We've been doing well at home and we need to get something out of the game."

Holleran is hoping to bolster the squad with the return of midfielder Chad Sheppard from a back strain.
