Rebels entertain Leyton Pennant looking to build on a recent run of seven points from three games and edge closer to the leading pack in Ryman division one.

Boss Sammy Donnelly admits they still haven't hit top gear in their bid to fulfil his pre-season ambition and challenge for the top three.

Donnelly said: "The only games where we've really put a run together have been in the FA Cup.

"We need to put that right now and get five or six results to send us up the table."

Rebels have had no trouble lifting themselves for the bigger matches, including excellent wins in their last two away games at Braintree and Bognor.

But today's more routine home game with a side in the bottom half of the table will be a test of a different kind.

Donnelly insisted: "They are all hard games. There isn't a lot of difference between the top and bottom teams in this division."

Defenders Simon James and Lee Cox return to the squad after missing the Bognor game through suspension and illness respectively.

Bognor's trip to Leatherhead has been called off, even though the notorious Fetcham Grove pitch is playable.

The home club's clubhouse and changing rooms were badly damaged by flooding during heavy rain over Christmas.
