Their from is in stark contrast to their weekend visitors, who play at the same level in the eastern division.
Successive defeats have left the Derbyshire club second-from-bottom in the early standings, although they have been far from disgraced.
They were beaten by 12 points by early leaders Spalding and lost out by three to Ashbourne last weekend.
STAFFORD have a trip to Kidderminster Carolians to negotiate at the first-round stage.
The cup tie will be viewed as ideal chance to find the winning habit for Stafford, who have made a poor start to their Midlands Two West (North) campaign.
They lost to Crewe and Nantwich on the opening weekend, and were thumped 43-5 by Leek last Saturday.
Southern league counterparts Kidderminster have won one and lost one of their opening matches, but were well beaten 43-19 by Nuneaton Old Edwardians in their last outing.
LEEK have started the season in fine style with a couple of wins, and play host to Dronfield in the first round.
Dronfield play in the eastern league equivalent, although they travel licking their wounds following a 40-7 loss to Oakham last Saturday.
ECCLESHALL and NEWCASTLE are also in cup action this weekend in the first round of the Senior Vase.
Midlands Three West (North) Eccleshall appear to have a testing afternoon on their hands if they want to make progress.
Ashby, who play at the same level, have made a stunning start to their league campaign.
They’ve won both matches, scoring 32 and 58 points respectively in their Midlands Three (East) matches.
NEWCASTLE have home advantage as they look to get past Coventry-based Pinley.
Castle produced a battling performance to win 24-6 at Yardley last weekend, in which Dan Jones scored all but five of his side’s points.
Kieran Johnson had set the ball rolling with the first try of the afternoon.
