Chesham United become to the third visitors to Holloways Park in the 2014/15 season, a side that Slough last defeated in 1999/00 with goals from Dwight Marshall and Aaron Patton.

More recently the Rebels and Generals met in the 2009/10 Play Off Final where Chesham clinically extinguished Slough's play off dreams and ended their four year absence from the Southern Premier Division.

Ahead of the Bank Holiday fixture joint manager Neil Baker provided an update:

"We go into today’s local derby with a continuing injury crisis, whereby we cannot seem to get everyone fit together.
"With the long term absentees of Warren Harris and Adam Foulser, we now have to add in Johnnie Dyer and Eddie Smith, with ribs and hamstring injuries respectively. That alone is over 80 of our goals from last season, which would hurt any side.
"We have slight concerns over Adam Cornell, James Dobson and George Frith, however we hope that all three will be available, but will probably come down to fitness tests.
"Scott Harris has a groin strain which he sustained for Ashford Town yesterday, and is therefore doubtful for tomorrow, so it is not worth recalling him back from his loan spell. The same applies to Jake Parsons, who needs valuable minutes at the moment to help with his fitness.
"We should be able to add back into the squad for the game Daryll Thomas who missed the game yesterday due to a 'flu bug and also Luke Knight who is on the comeback from a torn groin.
"Therefore, the squad tomorrow will be from:

Jake Somerville, Matt Bonnett, Sean Fraser, Tom Moran, Ryan Parsons, Guy Hollis, Reece Yorke, Alex Witham, George Frith, Ben Edwards, Jamie McClurg, George Short, Luke Knight, Daryll Thomas, James Dobson and Adam Cornell."
