Richard Sneekes expects a tough tie
Boss Richard Sneekes is expecting a tight encounter when his Rushall Olympic side host Mickleover Sports at Dales Lane in the FA Trophy first qualifying round.
The two sides drew 1-1 in the league and Pics boss Sneekes admits his side will need to play better than that day to avoid bowing out tomorrow.
He said: "They were exactly what I expected when we played them. A good footballing side balanced with youth and experience and we were probably lucky to get away with the draw."
With the Pics victorious in their last four home games, and Mickleover without a win in eight, the hosts will be favourites to advance but Sneekes isn't taking anything for granted.
"You know when you play a team on a bad run that you could be the ones to lose to them and when they came to Dales Lane they didn't really give us a sniff."
Loan signing Massiah McDonald is ineligible, while Carl Palmer and Nick Wright will face late fitness tests.
