Sports are three points clear of Diamonds going into this evening’s clash with second-placed Coalville Town and third-placed Rushall Olympic already looking well set to clinch play-off places behind champions-elect Banbury United.
Burgess was on hand to watch Sports’ 2-2 draw at Hitchin Town on Saturday while his team were without a game and this will be Diamonds’ first match since their dramatic 3-2 success at Lowestoft Town on March 5.
