Sun Sports boss Paul Hobbs hopes Watford supporters without a game due to the international break will turn out in force as his side host Hadley in the Spartan South Midlands Premier Division on Non League Day.

The Hornets have a weekend off Premier League duty thanks to the international schedule and Hobbs believes his non-league outfit can benefit from a legion of supporters facing the prospect of a weekend without their football fix.

Oxhey Jets are also at home to Hertford Town whilst in Division One Central of the Southern League – a step up from the South Midlands Premier – Kings Langley host Aylesbury United, Hobbs’ former team, as they continue their play-off push.

“Financially it’s massive for us,” said Hobbs. “It would be great to see a lot of Watford fans coming through the turnstiles on Saturday.

“Obviously people go to home games but if they don’t go to away games – and they can’t all go every other weekend – what are they doing?

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: there’s nothing worse than going to town shopping on a Saturday so why not come along and see a local game of football?

“Hopefully it will be a good, entertaining game that will make people want to come back in the future.”

Sun’s last four games have yielded 20 goals at both ends – including Tuesday’s 4-2 Premier Division Cup success over Biggleswade United – so there is no reason to suggest goals won’t be on the cards again.

Efforts from Clement Asante and Ashley Lewis (2) after the break turned the game on its head after Joe Kelly had struck in the first half with Sun 2-0 down.

Hobbs has called on his players to sharpen up at both ends after seeing his side have to come from behind to beat Biggleswade to reach the quarter-finals.

He said: “It was the same sort of performance as we’ve had all season. We created lots of chances and didn’t take them which made it hard work for us.

“But when those chances came in the second half we took them.

“We need to be a lot more ruthless in front of both goals. We need to stop teams scoring and when we create numerous chances we need to take them.”

Sun won 2-1 at Bedford on Saturday thanks to goals from Asante and Dan Griggs either side of half-time.
