BASINGSTOKE Town's new signing Jamie Brown is available to play in their away game at Havant on Saturday (3pm), but having not played a lot of football he is likely to be on the subs bench.

The Dragons are really roaring at the moment and had a brief reign at the top of the Vanarama Conference South on Saturday, before Boreham Wood went to the summit on Monday night.

The trip to Havant will be a tough one, as the Hampshire side have hit a run of form to move them up to sixth place.

Bristow said: “They are playing well at the moment but we have to remain focus on what we are doing as we are getting results. We want to keep this run going.”

On Tuesday night Hampshire Senior Cup holders Basingstoke start the defence of their trophy, with a visit from Tadley Calleva (kick-off 7.45pm).

Bristow said: “We are looking forward to a visit from a local team and this is a competition we take seriously so there will not be too many changes to the line-up.”
