Monday night sees RMI travel to Leicestershire to take on Hinckley United in a game that was re-arranged following the tragic death of Hinckley defender Matt Gadsby during a game at Harrogate in September of this year. Because of the involvement of Hucknall Town in Saturday's FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round, RMI go to the Marston Stadium on the back of a nine day break following the 1-1 draw with Scarborough last weekend, while Hinckley continued their efforts to make up their games in hand with an emphatic 4-1 victory at struggling Lancaster on Saturday.

RMI boss Stuart Humphreys is without striker Chris Simm, who is missing through suspension after being sent off for a second bookable offence against Scarborough, leaving a strikeforce rather bereft of options ahead of the encounter.

Kick off is at 7:45pm at the Marston Stadium, with admission costing £9 for adults, £6 for OAP's and £3 for under 16's, with an extra £1 charge for those wishing to watch the game from the stadium's seating areas.

There is a large car park available at the ground, though there is a £1 charge for each car. To help you navigate the 116 miles between Hilton Park and the Marston Stadium, follow the directions below;
Leave the M69 at junction 1 and head north on the A5, signposted Nuneaton and Earl Shilton. Straight over the roundabout and past the Limekilns Pub, then over the next roundabout. At the Dodwells Bridge roundabout take the A47, signposted Earl Shilton, through the Dodwells Industrial Estate, this is the Normandy Way. Continue on this road, past the Tesco Warehouse and the Triumph motorbike factory, over three more roundabouts and past the Safeway/Morrisons supermarket. At next traffic light crossroads go straight over signposted Earl Shilton. Carry on this road, down the hill where you will see the Stadium on your right. At the next roundabout turn right, 3rd exit, then entrance to the Marston Stadium is on your right.
