There are no plans for a pitch inspection and unless we receive heavy rain throughout the night (not forecast), then the game should go ahead.

The game is the first local league derby between these two sides at a Ryman Premier League level, with Leiston gaining promotion to this league last season.

After finding their feet, Leiston have now settled and have won four of their last five games. While Lowestoft have equally hit form, winning three of their last four in an unbeaten December.

The game promises to be a great match and a bumper crowd is expected, so get there early for the 3pm kick-off.

Best wishes and a Happy New Year to all our supporters for 2013.
