FARNBOROUGH
Farnborough are likely to be unchanged for the game at
home to Morecambe as they continue their fight against
relegation. Boss Ian McDonald set his side a target of 50

GRAVESEND
Gravesend are sweating on the fitness of two players

bronchitis.

LEIGH
Leigh RMI manager Mark Patterson should have a fully-fit
squad at his disposal for the crucial home game against
Gravesend. Gerry Harrison, having sat out last weekend's
defeat by Dagenham, is expected to overcome a foot injury
in time. "It's a massive game - a must-win
game," said Patterson.

for the away game with Southport. The Sierra Leone

Barry Williams is Nuneaton's main injury worry ahead of
the trip to Telford. Williams missed the last game

to continue that."

point they need for promotion to the Football League in
the top-of-the-table clash at Doncaster. Glovers boss
Gary Johnson said: "We came through the Telford game
