CIRENCESTER TOWN'S Gloucestershire Senior Challenge Trophy Quarter Final against Bristol City tonight (Tuesday) definitely goes ahead.

The Corinium Stadium pitch has thawed noticeably through the day.

Bristol City boss Steve Cotterill, whose first team are hunting up Swindon Town at the top of League One, is expected to send out a young squad.

Meanwhile, Town boss Brian Hughes is set to rest a couple of his Hartpury College players who have a university game tomorrow (Wednesday).

Hughes is also expected to tinker with his beloved 4-3-3 system in an attempt to shore up his normally miserly defence which has conceded 10 goals in their last three outings.

Kick-off at the Corinium Stadium is 7.45pm.
