Aslockton & Orston seem to be a bogey side for Magdala Amateurs having beaten them by the odd goal in the past three meetings, so a close encounter is sure to be in store at the Village ground in Orston. A match where both side need points will be at the Forest Zone where FC Cavaliers face Attenborough FC
