Hinckley AFC will target a sixth straight win when they take on Blackstones at Bedworth United’s The Oval ground on Saturday.
And assistant manager Joe Conneely says there’s a good feel around the club because of their recent run.
AFC have won five in a row since losing to Hucknall Town at the start of the month.
And Conneely says that defeat gave them to kick up the backside they needed: “It brought us down a peg. We were playing ok before that, but that game was eye opener. That can happen.
“But since then we’ve been fantastic. This is next game and most important, and Blackstones will be a test for us. They won’t make it easy.”

They also gave Harrowby United a scare recently, taking a 2-0 lead at Dickens Lane before the Arrows fought back to win.
While pitch work is completed at Kirkby Road, this game will be played at Bedworth United’s The Oval ground. You can find it on Coventry Road, Bedworth, CV12 8NN.
