Norwich start the second half of their season with a trip down the A140 for their re-arranged London League derby with Ipswich.
The coaching staff have been working hard to try and reverse the narrow defeats that have occured over the last few games and captain Sam Turner will be stressing to his players the importance of starting the game well.
There is a general feeling that the team is good enough to beat most teams but just need to start playing to their potential - and Turner hopes this weekend will be the catalyst for improved results.
Norwich: R Micklethwaite, Smiley, Greenwood, Wilson, Xola, Ives, Donnell, Swanborough, Snowling, Riches, Cook, Turner, Bugg, P Micklethwaite, O'Brien.
Holt travel to local rivals Fakenham for a re-arranged derby in Eastern Counties One which promises to be not for the faint hearted.
Coaches Ed Steed and Penny Chapman have the luxury of picking from a full squad - something they haven't had for most of the season.
