Leeton United to take on Tumut Eagles at home in Pascoe Cup clash

Last time the two sides met was earlier this season, with the match ending in a 1-all draw.

Alampi said that match was a game the coach said United should have won, but the team wasn't able to capitalise on the chances created.

This time around Leeton will host Tumut on their own home turf at MIA Sportsground, which they are hoping to use to their advantage.

"They (Tumut) are a bit of a 'bogey' side for us," Alampi said.

"Over in Tumut especially, they always have been. Even many years ago when I was playing.

"We've generally played better against them at home, so I am hoping we can rectify that first result against them on Sunday."

Leeton United enjoyed a 7-0 victory over Tolland last weekend and are hoping they can continue with that momentum.

Currently second on the ladder, but just two points ahead of fifth, securing the three points each week is vital.

Tuesday's training session was a small one, with several players sitting out with injuries suffered on the weekend.

"A few of the boys did actually get crunched on the weekend, so they didn't train Tuesday," Alampi said.

"Tonight (Thursday) we're going to do an indoor session for something different.

"That will give me a chance to see where the boys are out and where some of those injuries are up to."

The main goal heading into the fixture with Tumut will be to maximise every opportunity when it comes United's way.

"I know I say it every week, but it's about taking our chances and making them count," Alampi said.

"We've got to be doing that consistently all game.

"I think it's easy to drop our heads sometimes when we do take our chances and they don't come off.

"It's just a matter of not giving up and putting that effort in."
