“They’re a good team,” said Hastings manager Garry Wilson, who has Jack Walder available again after finally completing a four-match suspension. “They’ve got a lot of good young talent.”
Hastings have won eight matches in the knockout competitions so far this season and a victory tonight would mean they’ve come through at least two rounds in all four cups they’ve entered having stunned League Two outfit Crawley Town in the previous round last month.
* HASTINGS United Supporters’ Club will be hosting a Christmas party at The Pilot Field clubhouse on Friday (December 11).
