Folkestone Invicta manager Neil Cugley looks ahead to the Ryman League clash with Hastings United

00:00, 25 August 2015

Title rivals Hastings United and Folkestone Invicta go head-to-head tonight (Tuesday).

Folkestone travel to East Sussex second in Ryman League Division 1 South, with only goal-difference keeping them off top spot after a haul of 10 points from their first four games.

They drew 1-1 with Dorking Wanderers on Saturday while a 3-1 win for Hastings against Hythe lifted them to third - one point below Invicta.

Both clubs have been tipped for the title this season so it could be quite a game.

Folkestone boss Neil Cugley said: "We know about most of their players.

"I’m told that Zac Attwood missed their win over Hythe on Saturday, so whether he’s back or not we’ll have to wait and see.

"They’ve also got the big lad Jack Harris from Faversham who can be a handful, plus a fair bit of pace throughout the side and old hands like Sean Ray and Sam Adams who have at times given us problems."

Folkestone are hoping midfielder Jordan Wright will be fit after missing the Dorking game with a knee injury.
