Walsall travel to Boldmere St. Michaels on Tuesday and will be coming up against 'The Mikes' who will be looking to put Saturday's disappointing performance behind them in the Birmingham County FA Senior Challenge Cup first round tie.
'Mikes' manager and Walsall fan Rob Mallaband looked forward to the tie: "Tuesday is another day and represents the ideal opportunity to get back on track. I always enjoyed the opportunity to play against full-time professional opposition, and I'm sure it's the same for all the lads".
The Mikes have entertained The Saddlers regularly over the last few years in pre-season friendlies, the most recent being the fixture to celebrate Boldmere's 125th Anniversary season in July 2008. Walsall emerged with a 2-1 victory, after Lyndon Weller had opened the scoring for the Mikes.
The teams also recently met at the Quarter-Final stage of the competition, when a strong Walsall team prevailed by the odd goal in five in January 2007. Scorers on the night included Troy Deeney and Ishmel Demontagnac.
