Andover vs SHOTS

Terry Brown will be looking at Tuesday evenings Hampshire Senior Cup Quarter Final against Andover with mixed emotions over the next two days, with victory putting the club just one step away from the final - but more importantly the problems raised by fielding important first team players in the match and therefore risking injuries at this important time of the season.

With the Shots out of the FA Cup and the FA Trophy, Terry Brown will ultimately be looking to secure a play-off spot – but with so many other clubs in the league in contention for one of the four places, the County Cup or even the Conference Cup could be all that supporters are left with at the end of the season.

Current holders Farnborough Town won't be defending their cup this season as they've already been knocked out of the competition – by Basingstoke Town.

Briefly: Andover FC.
