Alfreton winger John Johnston back in light training after hamstring blow


The Reds go into the game after a good pre-season, only losing two of their seven games.
After having made numerous new signings in the summer, the squad seem to have gelled well since the start of pre-season, and look in good shape going into the new campaign.
