Quakers are looking to stretch their unbeaten run to four games when Bishop's Stortford visit on Saturday.

It's second bottom v bottom, with both sides needing the points to improve their hopes of getting out of the relegation zone.

Quaker go into the game on the back of a 1-0 away win at Gloucester last week, which was on the back of two home draws.

The visitors won the reverse game on a red hot day in September, when Will Hatfield, Tom Platt and Jake Lawlor were in charge of the team.
