Then on Sunday it's a visit to the Birmingham Brummies, 6pm.

The Stars have to win both meetings, plus accumulate an extra 13 points difference in the process, to reach the semi-finals.

Lynn team boss Rob Lyon is confident Lynn can do it.

He said: "We've got the team to do it. We've know what we've got to do, and we've changed the team order slightly.

"We're holders of the trophy for two years, and if we win, it would set us up nicely for the cup on Monday."

As well as the change earlier in the week, where Shaun Tacey swapped with Rusty Harrison, the new averages mean Simon Lambert moves into the main body of the team, while Kozza Smith goes in the Reserves at 7.

The Stars' Premier League home fixture with Newcastle on Wednesday was postponed following the downpours during the day.

On Monday Lynn travel in the Premier League KOC to Reading, 7.30pm.
