Pools Reserves are in action this afternoon when they take on Nottingham Forest in their re-scheduled Pontins League play-off at Billingham Town (2pm kick-off).

Last week's game was postponed after the pitch was deemed unplayable but there will be no such problems today as the two sides battle it out for a place in the Grand Final.

After finishing top of Divison One East, Pools were drawn to face Forest, who won the Central Division and were only beaten once all season.

The winners of this tie will then go on to face the victors of the other semi-final which sees Morecambe up against Manchester City, with the Final likely to be played next term.

Pools have Michael Rae back available after the young striker returned from a loan spell with Southport, while Ben Clark and Jamie McCunnie will play in defence.

The game kicks-off at 2pm this afternoon so if you're available why not pop along to Billingham Town and support the lads in action.

We'll have a full report and reaction right here on the Official Website after the final whistle.
