On Friday evening they play AFC Dunstable in the Bedfordshire FA Premier Cup final, which also takes place at the home of the two Dunstable clubs.

ANDY AWFORD SAYS:

On tonight's game: "We always look forward to playing Dunstable Town, it's always a competitive game. We got a lot out of the Kempston game at the weekend and we will be looking to continue improving as we move through pre-season as it gives the young players an opportunity to play against men which is always a difficult challenge. We look forward to it.

"They have changed their manager and changed a few players, but from our point of view, it's valuable experience for our players. We want to give our players a variety of different challenges, we don't get to play against men that often because we play in a youth league, but whenever we play against men it gives us that opportunity to test the lads differently as it presents its different challenges."

To supporters: "Come down and enjoy it, come and see some of the young talents we have got at the club. They're playing against men, but hopefully we can put on a good performance. If you can get down there and show us a bit of support, it would be lovely if we can get a few through the turnstiles."
