Hardly Athletic go into this weeks cup clash hoping to keep themselves in with a shout of qualifying for finals day.
Hardly have improved every season in the league, having won more league games than in any of their previous seasons every time, and sit second in the table this term and have two cup wins aswell, the first time Athletic have more than one cup victory.
The sides have met three times before, all last season, with Del Stoke winning all three(5-3, 4-2, 5-0) on their way to the Division 2 title.
Hardly are still without Joe Gordon(knee) whilst Dan Middleton sits out this week.
