EASTWOOD boss Paul Cox reckons tonight's away fixture at Worksop will feel more like a home game.

The Tigers have been thrown off their Sandy Lane ground by the club's former chairman.

It means they have been forced to share Hucknall Town's Watnall Road ground for home games.

"I think it will be a bit weird because our players will probably be more familiar with the ground than they are – it's only just down the road for us," said Cox.

"In fact, quite a few of our lads will live nearer Hucknall's ground than ours!

"It is a nice big pitch and a good surface as well so the lads will be looking forward to it."

Worksop finished in mid-table last season, but will be looking to improve under boss Peter Rinkcavage.

Cox said: "I have seen them a couple of times in pre-season and Peter has got them playing well.

"Every game is going to be hard this year and they will push us all the way."

Midfielder Anton Foster misses out as he serves the second match of a three-game suspension.

Eastwood: Deakin, Asher, Shaw, Cooke, Swinscoe, Sturdy, Diuk, Dunning, Holmes, Smith, Gardner, Rhead, Whitman, Meikle, Matthews, Robinson.
