Reds look to seal their place in the next round against resilient Tulips at Fortress Impact Arena

After a dour goalless draw in the original tie on Saturday in South Lincolnshire, Alfreton Town and Spalding United will do it all over again on Tuesday night to determine who advances through to face Biggleswade Town in the next round of the prestigious competition.

In front of 370 spectators both teams struggled to create chances in a game that wont live long in the memory.

The replay gives Billy Heath`s side the opportunity to redeem themselves for the poor performance on Saturday.

The Reds will be eager to extend their impressive unbeaten home run to nineteen matches and in the process seal progression to the next round.

They will be aware of how difficult Spalding United will be to break down however.
The Tulips manager Jimmy Dean is an experienced operator having managed against the Reds with both Peterborough Sports and Scunthorpe United.

Spalding held Derbyshire Rivals Matlock to a similarly uneventful 0-0 draw at home in the last round before winning through by a single goal in extra time in the replay.
Ofton will be keen to avoid extra time or even penalties as they look to collect the £3,375 prize money and book their place in the next round.
In the only other meeting between the clubs in the 2000/2001 season Alfreton then a Northern Counties East League Premier Division side won 3-2 at North Street under the management of Jason Maybury in the First Qualifying Round.
