DIDCOT Town boss Andy Ballard is hopeful of claiming his first win as manager and kicking off a positive year as the Railwaymen travel to Winchester City this evening.

The year got off to a false start for Town following the postponement of their home fixture with Burnham in Evo-Stik Southern League Division 1 South & West on Saturday due to a waterlogged pitch, but Ballard has promised fans a year to savour.

He said: "2016 is going to be a good year for us, I've got a feeling."

Midfielder Tommy Hayday is in line to feature for the first time after signing from Abingdon Town, but Didcot are without the suspended Jack Longford and injured pair Jack Self and Mark Francis (both knee).

Didcot Tn (v Winchester City, away): from Bedwell, Learoyd, Organ, Carnell, Amadeu, Ballard, Janes, Edney, Woodley, Williams, Dutton-Black, Collins, Thompson, Powell, Gannon, Jeacock, Hayday.
