Lowestoft Town will tonight bid to bounce back from the disappointment of their FA Cup exit when they return to Ryman League action against Wingate & Finchley at Crown Meadow (kick-off 7.45pm).

The Blues, who put up a brave battle with ten men before going 3-2 at Conference club Braintree on Saturday, are down to eighth in the Premier Division after losing at home to promotion rivals Kingstonian in their last home game.

With a League Cup defeat on penalties at Soham in between they will be tonight in the unfamilar position of trying to end a run of three successive losses.

Wingate are three points behind Lowestoft in the table following their 3-1 loss at Lewes on Saturday.

�Twenty-four Thurlow Nunn League teams are in action tonight in the first round of the Red Insure Challenge Cup.

There are three Norfolk derbies including two all-Premier Division affairs with Thetford Town at home to Norwich United and Gorleston hosting Diss Town. Another all Norfolk affair sees Dereham at home to Yarmouth.

�King's Lynn manager Gary Setchell is calling on the club's fans to turn up the noise levels. Setchell's in-form Linnets, second in Evo-Stik Division One South, welcome Gresley tonight having not lost in their six league matches at home. But Setchell admits he was concerned about the 'morgue' like atmosphere during Saturday's 1-0 win over Northwich and says: 'When the crowd are up for it the lads are buzzing and find that extra yard. When it's really quiet players get scared to make a mistake because they can hear the grumbling.'
