FA Vase: Thurnby Nirvana aim to take a step closer to Wembley

Thurnby Nirvana plot a course for the last 32 in the FA Vase on Saturday when they host Bromsgrove Sporting in the third round.

And the Dakyn Road men should be full of confidence ahead of the clash.

In the last round they took care of West Midland League outfit Gornal Athletic, who were on the end of a 4-1 beating.

Bromsgrove currently play at a level below Thurnby in the first division of the Midland League where they are sixth.

However, a defence that has conceded just 18 goals to date will take some breaking down.

Thurnby have the tools to do that though, as they showed against Gornal. Liam Canavan currently leads the United Counties League scoring charts with 16 goals to his name.

On the league front, Oadby Town are at last beginning to see some light at the end of the Premier Division tunnel.

Lee Harriman's men are on a run of three straight wins in all competitions, with three clean sheets into bargain.

That has lifted them out of the bottom three ahead of tomorrow's home clash with Newport Pagnell Town, who occupy a mid-table berth.

Harborough Town will take some encouragement from Tuesday's 3-3 draw at Long Buckby, where they rallied from 3-1 down at half-time.

That point ended a sequence of three league defeats in which Town had managed just one goal.

They entertain Sleaford tomorrow, another side who are in the lower reaches.

Three consecutive wins have given Lutterworth Athletic a five-point advantage over Peterborough Sports at the top of Division One.

Sports have two games in hand but Athletic should be happy with where they stand at this stage of the season.

They visit ninth-placed Olney Town tomorrow with strike Danny Laywood in good touch having taken his season's tally to 12.
