Rushall No 2 up against his old boss

Rushall Olympic assistant manager Nick Amos will "cross swords" with his ex-boss Chris Brindley when he heads to Chasetown for the second derby of the day.

Amos could even be playing against Brindley's Scholars in the Bank Holiday clash, as he is nearly after six weeks out with an ankle injury.

The game is the second West Midlands derby in the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League on Monday, with Amos one of three back for Rushall.

Left-sided duo Louis Keenan and Grant Beckett could join him in the squad to go to the Scholars Ground, after ankle and knee injuries respectively.

Amos played under Brindley at Stafford Rangers and, after his former manager took charge at Chasetown in November, went up against him in the Doodson Sports Cup.

The Pics won that game at Dales Lane 1-0 but Amos, with his side leading their hosts by a point, admits there's far more to play for this time.

He said: "We have crossed swords before but not to the extent of Monday's game, there's definitely more at stake this time.

"We still keep in touch and I get on well with 'Brinners,' apart from when we are playing each other!

"They have picked up since he took over, so it's going to be a tight affair. They are only a point behind us, so it's very close.

"It's a local derby, we have played Chasetown numerous times, before Chris was there as well, and they have always been good encounters."
