ACCRINGTON
STANLEY

contend with as his side prepare for the trip to Exeter.

ALDERSHOT
Aldershot manager Terry Brown is hoping to have defender
Simon Downer available for the visit of Tamworth. Downer
has been suffering with a groin injury and had to be
sub-stituted during last weekend's 3-1 defeat by Forest

BARNET
Barnet caretaker boss Paul Fairclough has a host of
injury doubts ahead of the crucial clash with
already-relegated Leigh RMI. Guiliano Grazioli (ligament
damage), Ismail Yakubu (knee), Ben Strevens (toe), Joe
Gamble (knee) and Matt Redmile (flu) are all rated as
"50-50" by Fairclough as Barnet look to secure
a play-off spot.

BURTON ALBION
Burton manager Nigel Clough may decide to bring veteran
defender Steve Chettle back into the starting line-up for
the clash with Dagenham. Chettle played the second half
of last weekend's 2-1 defeat at Farnborough and could be
in line for a start against the Daggers, while Darren
Wassall is also nearing full fit-ness.

CHESTER CITY
Chester boss Mark Wright will be without sus-pended
defender Kevin McIntyre for the top-of-the-table clash
with Hereford. McIntyre received a three-match ban for
his dismissal against Aldershot earlier in the month.
Defender Danny Collins is sidelined for the final game of
the season after breaking a bone in his foot against
Scarborough last Saturday.

DAGENHAM & REDBRIDGE
New Dagenham boss John Still is sweating on the fitness
of Chris Moore and Danny Hill ahead of the clash with
Burton Albion. Moore picked up a calf injury last weekend
but is hopeful of being fit enough to take his place in
the side, while Hill is rated "very doubtful"
after missing the last month through injury.

EXETER
Play-off chasing Exeter City are hoping central defender
Chris Todd passes a late fitness test ahead of their
Conference clash at home to Accrington. Todd (ankle) and
23-goal top scorer Sean Devine are City's only two injury
doubts heading into their final regular season game.

Farnborough manager Vic Searle has no new injury worries
or suspensions for the trip to Telford. Issufo Sombili
Jalo and Matthew Beall both picked up knocks last weekend
but are expected to take their place in the side. Adie
Hayes could also be given a run-out following a leg
injury.

FOREST GREEN
Forest Green manager Tim Harris is sweating on the
fitness of striker Alex Meechan as Rovers prepare to
bring the cur-tain down on their season at Stevenage. The
groin injury sustained by Meechan in the 3-1 home win
over Aldershot has yet to settle and Harris will put the
24-year-old through a late fitness test.

GRAVESEND & NORTHFLEET
Gravesend manager Andy Ford has doubts over two players
ahead of their final home game of the season against
Northwich. Midfielder Steven Perkins sustained a calf
injury during the midweek draw against Shrewsbury and had
to be substituted while defender Lee Gledhill has been
suffering with a virus all week. THEFLEET

HALIFAX TOWN
Andy Farrell and Val Owen are expected to miss Halifax's
home clash against Woking. Farrell is struggling to
overcome a knee injury, while Owen is unlikely to recover
from an ankle problem. Both players were on the bench for
last week's 1-0 win at Dagenham.

HEREFORD UNITED
Hereford boss Graham Turner has several injury concerns
ahead of the clash with champions Chester. Rob Purdey
(hip) and Tony James (knee) will face City if they can
over-come their respective injuries. If Purdey fails to
recover Danny Carey-Bertram, who has scored twice in his
last two appearances, will start.

Michael Price should continue in the Leigh defence after
making his first start for three weeks against Hereford
last week. Midfielder Steve Gunby also returned to the
starting line-up and remains in the squad to face Barnet.
The Railwaymen face a stern test as the Bees look to
secure a play-off place.

Margate boss Chris Kinnear could opt to shuffle his pack
for the final game of the season against Scarborough.
Moses Jjunju and Ian Pullman are vying to play a part
along with Darren Watson, who has now fully recovered
from his ankle injury. Sam Sodje continues to serve a
six-match ban.

MORECAMBE
Morecambe will be forced into at least two changes as
they bring the curtain down on their season with a home
game against Shrewsbury. They are without David Perkins,
who begins a three-match suspension, while Danny Carlton
starts a two-match ban. Ryan Sugden and Gary Thompson are
likely to benefit from their absence.

NORTHWICH VICTORIA
Shaun Teale resigned as Northwich man-ager ahead of the
Conference clash with Gravesend after failing to save the
club from relegation. Teale became the third manager this
season to leave the Vics after a meeting with chairman
Dave Stone, so defender Gregor Rioch will take charge for
the final game of the season.

SCARBOROUGH
Scarborough have no new injury worries ahead of their
final game of the season with Margate. Only long-term
casualties David Pounder (knee), Steve Baker (hamstring)
and Jacques Williams (ankle) are the likely absentees.
Mark Quayle, who stepped down to the bench for the defeat
at Chester, should return in attack.

SHREWSBURY
Shrewsbury boss Jimmy Quinn is hopeful that a trio of
players will be available for his side's trip to
Morecambe. Striker Duane Darby (thigh) and defenders
Darren Tinson (ham-string) and Trevor Challis (knee)
should be available for a game Quinn insists he is taking
seriously despite the Shrews already being guaranteed a
play-off place.

STEVENAGE BOROUGH
Mark Rogers is added to the Stevenage squad to face
Forest Green after sealing a permanent switch from
Wycombe. The defender spent a loan spell with Boro
earlier this sea-son and is now back at the club
permanently. Striker Brian Quailey has also signed from
Tamworth but cannot play for the club this season.

TAMWORTH
Darron Gee will take charge of Tamworth for the final
time on Saturday when the Lambs travel to Aldershot. He
has no fresh injury worries to contend with for his last
game in charge, but striker Brian Quailey will play no
part after joining Stevenage on a permanent deal this
week.

TELFORD
Martin Taylor will continue in goal for Telford following
Chris MacKenzie's loan to Hereford. John Grant should
lead the attack after he shook off the ankle injury
sustained last weekend at Woking to manage 90 minutes in
the midweek defeat by Northwich. Strikers Chris Murphy
(thigh) and Tony Naylor (calf) remain doubtful.

WOKING
Woking manager Glenn Cockerill has no fresh injury
worries to contend with ahead of his side's trip to
Halifax. Neil Smith is once again ruled out with the knee
injury he sustained against Aldershot, while long-term
victim Chris Sharpling (knee) is the Cards' only other
absentee as they bid to end the season on a high.
