A KEY match could propel Gornal Athletic to the top of the table.

After not playing a league game since Saturday, November 1, a win against Cradley Town on Tuesday, December 2 means the Peacocks would regain the top position, with a game in hand.

The match kicks off at 7.45pm at Garden Walk Stadium, with refreshments available from 6pm.

Tickets are priced at £7 for adults and £5 for concessions.

A spokesperson for the club said: "Come down and watch the Peacocks in this Black Country Derby under the lights at Garden Walk."

Attention will then turn to an FA Vase third-round clash against Grantham Town on Saturday.

Despite acknowledging the tough task ahead, as Grantham were a step 4 club last season, there is optimism.

The spokesperson said: "We have one of the best teams seen at Gornal for quite a few years, and we think an upset might be on the cards."
