Quakers are looking for a double over promotion chasing Brackley at Blackwell Meadows on Saturday.

Quakers won 3-1 at Brackley earlier in the season -- which at the time was their first win of the season after a Covid-delayed start -- and now they're looking to bounce back from Easter defeats against Curzon Ashton and Gateshead. They're currently four points off the play off spaces, with four games left.

Brackley are pushing for the only automatic promotion place, and are four points behind Gateshead. They need to win to keep their hopes of catching Gateshead alive after losing at home to Boston in midweek.

Here's what Alun has to say:
