Reds manager Nicky Law will be looking for his side to build on Tuesday night’s Derbyshire Senior Cup success but Alfreton will face a major task against a Ferriby side who boast the best home record in the entire division with just two defeats suffered by Billy Heath’s side in 20 games so far.

Last season’s FA Trophy winners have enjoyed another very good season and the Villagers’ home record is an impressive won 13, drawn 5, lost 2.

Tough is definitely the word as Ferriby have only lost two of their last ten in the league whilst the Reds have only won two of their last ten games for points.

However, the Reds will still travel in confidence having extended their unbeaten run away from home to twelve games in all competitions in midweek with the cup success and they will be protecting a proud record of not losing away in 2016.

Ferriby will be chasing a result - a win or draw - which would see them clinch second place in the table, a position which would give them a huge advantage in the forthcoming play-offs.

In their last outing, Ferriby overcame travel problems which resulted in a six-hour trip to Lowestoft on Tuesday night to triumph 3-0 after the game kicked-off 35 minutes late.
