The Robins host Peterborough North Star at Ford Meadow on the back of five wins and two draws in friendly games.

Town edged a 3-2 win against Stony Stratford Town on Tuesday and ran out 3-0 winners over Thame United last Saturday.

In-form Michael McKenzie scored in both games, along with Jeff Baffo, while Ben Flynn and Danny Mills were also on the scoresheet.

With a squad of 18 first teamers, including seven new summer signings, manager Tony Joyce has, as he says, 'a nice selection problem' for Saturday's opening encounter.

The only doubt for the game is central defender Mark Toms, whose wife is expecting a baby. New signing Tyrone Taylor is also away.

Boss Joyce said: "Peterborough will be a tough test for us as they finished second in the league last season and we lost to them twice.

"But we have done well in pre-season and have created a lot of chances in our games, which is always a good sign.

"With a big first-team squad, I've got a selection problem for Saturday, but a nice one. I'm hopeful of a good display from the lads."
