Assistant boss Lee Williams is hoping his Rushall side have learned a lesson ahead of their FA Trophy clash with Bedworth United.

Olympic again face a side from a lower division after Tuesday's Birmingham Senior Cup victory over Coleshill Town.

They won that 3-1 but needed a secondhalf revival after trailing 1-0 at the break.

Williams insists his team, who are top of the Unibond First Division South, have to respect their opponents.

He said: "I think when you play a team lower down you can approach the game a little bit differently. When you're playing somebody from a lower league, you don't mean to do it but you don't seem to get yourself up for it as much as a league game.

"I think we got caught out a little bit first half on Tuesday and we're top of our league and a good scalp.Bedworth are from a lower division and they'll be very motivated."

Midfielder Stuart Skidmore is the only doubt for Rushall.

Williams added: "He's back from a cruciate ligament injury and his knee is fine but he's picked up a few niggles. You tend to do that on your way back from a serious injury.

"Hopefully he'll shake that off and be fully fit."
