BINFIELD FC will start warm favourites to beat out-of-form Redhill in their FA Vase at Hill Farm Lane on Saturday (3pm), but manager Roger Herridge is taking nothing for granted, writes Dave Wright.

The Moles moved up to fourth place in the Hellenic League Premier Division last weekend following their 1-0 win at Royal Wootton Bassett.

At the same time, Redhill were crashing 5-1 at Frimley Green and that leaves them second bottom of the Combined Counties League Premier Division with just nine points from 12 games.

But it is not uncommon for the form book to be thrown out of the window when it comes to cup ties, and Herridge will warn his players they must not be complacent.

"We will certainly not be under-estimating them," he said.

"We are at home and it is a game we should be confident of winning, but when it comes to cup ties, it is about who turns up on the day and wants it more."

Herridge said Binfield have been doing their homework on Redhill, having them watched last week.

He added: "They saw us the other week against Burnham, but I am not sure they will have learned a lot from that.

"With home advantage, if we get it right, and get our own house in order, I think we have a great chance of winning.

"We have had a good run so far, and we want to be in the third round of the Vase."

Herridge is hoping to be able to name much the same side which beat Royal Wootton Bassett, where skipper Sean Moore got the winning goal.

Defender Liam Gavin, who was not available, will return to the squad, but striker Asa Povey remains sidelined due to injury.

The addition of central defender Calam Gallimore, who is dual registered with Isthmian League club Marlow, and former Bracknell Town midfielder George Short have strengthened the Moles in recent weeks, along with former Thatcham midfielder Tom Melledew.

"They are players who have been a bit short of football this season, and we know they are going to get better the more games they play,"

started Herridge.
