DESPITE Saturday's big FA Trophy clash with Nationwide Conference side Exeter City looming large, Billericay Town will use a full first team squad for tonight's Ryman League Cup challenge.
Justin Edinburgh's men host Premier rivals Heybridge Swifts in the third round (7.45pm), but understandably after the weekend events everyone's talking about Saturday's major affair.
For visitors Exeter will be arriving at New Lodge fresh from shocking the soccer world by holding Manchester United to a goalless draw before a 67,000 plus crowd at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Now, just four days after their visit to Essex, the West Countrymen will be staging the third round Cup replay.
Said Edinburgh: "Seeing them gain a draw was a great result for us. You have to think that Exeter will have the replay very much on their minds when they come to us - and who knows they might even rest one or two players.
"Also, with Exeter having produced such a sensational result, there's a lot of media attention being focused on them which hopefully will lead to us attracting an even bigger crowd than we originally expected."
