For those who think Leigh RMI have got an easy game in their re-arrganged clash against Unibond League minnows Vauxhall Motors in the FA Trophy tomorrow had better get in contact with supporters of Second Division QPR.

Former works team Vauxhall Motors, now playing at the considerably high level of the Unibond Premier, made national headlines earlier this season when they knocked QPR, arguably one of the biggest clubs in the Second Division, out of the FA Cup at Rangers' own Loftus Road stadium.

Motors make the short trip to Hilton Park complete with former RMI winger Peter Cumiskey in their ranks who has been in fine form for the Merseyside outfit this season.

RMI will be without Neil Durkin and Ged Kielty (pictured) who are both suspended. Tunisian striker Dino Maamria may make an appearance although manager Mark Patterson may not risk Maamria becoming injured after missing out on the signing of former Bolton striker Paul Wheatcroft earlier this week. Maamria has yet to return from a calf injury sustained against Chester City at Hilton Park in December.

The FA Trophy could provide RMI with some respite from their Conference relegation battle and a cup run could also give the squad's confidence a huge boost.

The game should survive the Lancashire winter as the pitch has thawed out from it's frozen state prior to the originally arranged game at 3 o'clock on Saturday.
