Ian Walker is hoping Thrapston Town can put together some good runs in the knockout competitions this season.

The Future Lions United Counties League Division One side are in second-round action in the NFA Junior Cup this weekend when they take on Northants Combination Premier Division side Spratton at Chancery Lane.

But Walker insists he and his team, who beat another Combination side Woodford United 2-1 in the first round, will be taking nothing for granted as they bid to make progress.

“We want to do well in every competition we enter but the Junior Cup is always one that you want to have a run in,” he said.

“We are still in the UCL Knockout Cup as well so we would like to go as far as we possibly can in both competitions.

“Spratton are a Premier Division side in the Northants Combination and they will see us as a bit of a scalp.

“I have had enough exits from the Junior Cup to know that nothing is guaranteed and you can’t take anything for granted.
