WHO ARE THE SHOTS PLAYING?

LAST TIME OUT:
Aldershot travelled to Dorking back in October, the first meeting of the two sides in their current history. The Shots won emphatically, with Inih Effiong volleying home from a Justin Amaluzor cross to give the Shots the lead heading into the break. After the interval, Tyler Cordner volleyed a second in before a wonderful solo effort from Tommy Willard wrapped up the points for Aldershot in a 3-0 win.
