FC Halifax Town don't get the chance to bask in the glory of their 3-2 win at Mickleover on Saturday too much as they face another game on Tuesday night against Northwich Victoria at The Shay.
Town played superbly during the win in Derbyshire, which lifted them three places into the top ten of the Evo-Stik Premier Division.
However, Northwich currently sit top of the pile after winning four of their first five games, including a 2-0 win at home to Whitby Town at the weekend.
It was a good response to their only defeat so far, a 2-1 loss at Nantwich, which itself was preceded by three consecutive wins against Retford 1-0, Bradford Park Avenue 2-1 and Hucknall 4-0.
Three players have two goals apiece so far; Andrew Fowler, Michael Connor and Wayne Riley, the latter is the man that bagged the infamous winner in last season's FA Cup defeat of League One Charlton Athletic.
That was when the club were in the Blue Square North, but despite a 12th place finish, the Vics were controversially demoted to the Northern Premier League following financial problems.
It was certainly an interesting first full season in charge for player-manager Andy Preece, most famous for his playing spells at Blackpool and Bury.
Preece has had a busy summer in the transfer market, with only three of the team's squad from last season currently at the club, the most notable members of their playing squad being former Huddersfield Town forward John McAliskey and ex-Manchester United youngster George Clegg.
Jamie Vardy notched two goals in the win at Mickleover, and will hopefully line-up against Northwich despite being taken off after appearing to feel the effects of a lingering injury.
James Dean and Scott Phelan came off the bench on Saturday as they continue to recover from injuries and both are pushing for a place in the starting XI, but Aaron Hardy and Danny Lowe are both expected to miss out as they continue to recuperate from their injuries.
The Shaymen could go as high as 2nd in the table with a win on Tuesday night, with the action getting underway at 7.45pm.
If you can't make it to the match, the official FC Halifax Town website will be providing regular updates on the game throughout the evening, while highlights will be available on Shaymen Player from Wednesday.
