BURY Town will need no greater incentive to overcome Hampton and Richmond Borough at Ram Meadow than to be in the hat with several ex-Football League sides and the possibility of a lucrative draw in the Fourth Qualifying round of the FA Cup.

But first they have a difficult third round game which they will go into without defender Russell Short who is best man at his brother`s wedding.

In addition, injuries to Billy Clark, Jordan Patrick and Lee Reed could also deplete the squad, while Evan Key is playing for the county under-18s, though it is expected that Clark and Patrick will be fit.

Allicion Blake is cup-tied as are all the Team Bury players who played in the competition.

Defender Daniel Hitching is being recalled from his loan at Mildenhall to provide defensive cover.
