BARNET
Barnet will be without forwards Ben Strevens and Guiliano

BURTON ALBION
Burton defender Steve Chettle is hoping to be fit in time

Nigel Clough may also choose to bring in Darren Wassall,

with a calf strain.

CHESTER CITY
Chester City manager Mark Wright is poised to welcome

EXETER
Play-off chasing Exeter are hoping top scorer Sean Devine
is fit to figure in their penultimate Conference match at
Tamworth. City boss Eamonn Dolan is keeping his fingers
crossed 22-goal Devine shrugs off a bout of flu. Dolan
has other attacking options with Les Afful, Sean Canham
and Steve Flack available.

FARNBOROUGH
Relegated Farnborough will be at full strength for the
home game against Burton after manager Vic Searle
report-ed no new injury worries. Alex Christou and Adi
Hayes have both shrugged off knocks and passed fitness
checks. Sasha Opinel is back after a three-match ban and
Nick Burton returns after com-pleting a two-match
suspension.

Forest Green boss Tim Harris welcomes back fractured
cheekbone victim Kevin Langan for the visit of Aldershot.

cartilage problem which may require surgery while Scott

miss out.

GRAVESEND & NORTHFLEET
Gravesend manager Andy Ford has no fresh injury worries
to report ahead of the trip to Accrington. Francis Duku
remains on the sidelines but Ford will select from an
otherwise full-strength squad as they bid to keep up
their good form. Gravesend have recorded six wins and
three draws from their last nine matches.

HALIFAX TOWN
Halifax boss Chris Wilder is sweating on the fitness of
Craig Midgley ahead of the trip to Dagenham. Midgley is
touch and go to make the clash, although Val Owen is back
in contention after serving a suspension. Youngsters Pete
Naylor and Ryan Toulson have been added to the squad.

HEREFORD UNITED
Hereford defender Michael Rose may not make the starting
line-up for the clash at Leigh despite returning from a
two-match ban. Manager Graham Turner revealed Rose faces
tough competition from replacement Simon Travis as the
Bulls extended their winning run to nine matches. Rob
Betts looks set to continue in place of Scott Willis.

LEIGH RMI
Leigh are unlikely to have groin injury victim Steve
Redmond back in time for their home game against
Hereford. But Chris McGrath and Paul Shepherd, who
hobbled off the field dur-ing the morale-boosting 1-0
victory over Northwich on Easter Monday, will be fit to
play against the title-chasing Bulls.

MARGATE
Margate defender Sam Sodje remains sidelined through a
six-match ban for his dismissal at Burton, his fourth
this term, which leads into next season. Captain Graham
Porter, who doubled his goal tally to four during the
Easter programme, should lead the same Gate line-up for
the third consecutive game.

MORECAMBE
Morecambe manager Jim Harvey can name the same line-up
that earned him consecutive wins over Easter week-end.
That made it four straight victories for the Shrimps, who
are pushing for a play-off spot. Danny Carlton and David
Perkins are available for the last time before sitting
out the remaining fixtures through suspension.

NORTHWICH VICTORIA
Doomed Northwich could be without five players for the
game against fifth-placed Barnet. Forwards Chris Ward and
Chris Thompson are both doubtful with ankle injuries,
with the lat-ter very unlikely to figure. Steven Nicholas
will undergo a late fitness test while defender Greg
Rioch and midfielder Peter Wright complete three-match
bans.

SCARBOROUGH
Scarborough welcome back captain Jimmy Kelly from a
five-match ban in time to face his old club Chester. The
midfielder should replace Tom Raw in a side which is
expected to show several changes. Leigh Walker is likely
to regain his place from Adam Sollitt in goal, whilst
Ashley Lyth could replace Iain Davidson.

SHREWSBURY
Shrewsbury player-manager Jimmy Quinn is likely to name
the same line-up for the third game running as his side
bid to consolidate their play-off position. Although
midfielder Jamie Tolley has a minor injury, it will not
prevent him from playing against Stevenage, and Quinn has
no suspension worries to con-tend with.

STEVENAGE BOROUGH
Stevenage will be without Anthony Elding for their trip
to Shrewsbury as the striker starts a two-match ban.
Steve Watson is expected to be fit after spending Easter
Monday's match against Margate on the bench. However,
George Boyd impressed in the 2-1 home win on only his
fifth Boro start and could continue.

TAMWORTH
Tamworth manager Darren Gee hopes to be able to name a
full-strength side for the visit of play-off chasing
Exeter City. Adie Smith has been back in training for the
past fortnight after recovering from injury and Gee has
confirmed that the defender is in line for a first-team
return.

TELFORD
The Bucks' 10-goal striker Chris Murphy will not fea-ture
again this season due to the thigh strain he sustained
during the 1-0 defeat at Morecambe. Similarly Tony Naylor
is out for the rest of the season with a calf injury,
while Lee Mills (ankle) looks doubtful for the clash with
Woking.

WOKING
Woking will be without midfielder Neil Smith for the home
game against Telford after the 32-year-old sustained a
knee ligament injury at the beginning of the month. Luke
Cornwall could stay in the side after replacing Steve
Ferguson and scoring the equaliser in the 2-1 win at
Exeter on Easter Monday.
