Melton have had little match practice of late and have played just twice in 2018 because of rain, ice and snow.

Saturday became their fourth blank weekend in the last six when their home match with Bugbrooke was postponed by a waterlogged pitch.

This weekend they face a tough trip to United Counties League Division One leaders Pinchbeck United (ko 3pm) before their big cup match.

Burbage, meanwhile, sit top of Division Two despite having played just one league match this year.
