FA Vase preview: Miserly London Colney defence awaits Holbeach United

Holbeach United will have to crack a tight defence if they are to progress to the last 32 of the FA Vase on Saturday.

The Tigers make the trip to St Albans to take on London Colney in the third round.
The Hertfordshire side have racked up ten clean sheets in all competitions this season, the latest a 2-0 win against Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division leaders Sun Sports last Saturday.

However, Holbeach have plenty of firepower at their disposal from all areas of the pitch and have only failed to score twice this season.
Jamie Clarke and Lee Dube each have 11 league goals.
London Colney’s main goal threats come from Jimmy Hill (12) and Greg Shaw (9).

Although 11th in the table, London Colney have five matches in hand on some teams.

Names for places on the Tigers’ coach on Saturday (£8, leaves Carter’s Park 10.45am) can be left in the clubhouse.
