Tough Boxing Day test for Brakes

Brakes face a tough test on Boxing Day when they play arch rivals Romulus at home. The retro Italian side have already defeated Brakes this season at the Seven Hills Stadium.

A bumper attendance is expected for the game and a park and ride service has been put in place. Romulus has a small away following, but they are known to be well hard. However, it has been unkindly suggested that 'the crew' will be out nicking kids' new bikes to sell on E Bay on Boxing Day.

The North Bank will be open once again with the new terracing in place, despite the digger have been nicked while work was in progress.

Brakes have been strengthened by the addition of Vijay Sidhu, a striker from the Coventry City youth academy. Former Reading professional Guy Sanders has come in to bolster the defence. Although recently plying his trade in the non-league, Sanders was offered and turned down a professional contrast with League 2 Lincoln.

Removal man Josh Blake has been on form, scoring both goals in Saturday's 2-0 win at Dunstable Town. See the first goal here (click twice): Blake
