WESSEX League Division 1 sides East Cowes Vics and Newport are in cup action across The Solent tonight (Tuesday) hoping to pick up a bit of lost form. 

In the second round of the Wessex League Cup, Vics have a tough tie away at Wessex Premier mid-table outfit Laverstock & Ford.

Newport, also against higher league Premier opposition, may feel they have a chance of causing an upset at struggling United Services Portsmouth, who were hammered 5-1 by Cowes Sports on Saturday.

Both games kick-off at 7.45pm.
