Boston have a weekend off as they prepare for the massive
game against Conference leaders Dagenham & Redbridge
on Monday. Steve Evans’ side are four points behind
the Daggers but have a crucial game in hand and victory
at Victoria Road next week would give them a real chance
of winning promotion to the Football League.

Boss Mark Wright is again without Michael Rose ahead of
the clash with Leigh RMI at the Deva Stadium. Defender
Rose is serv-ing the second of his two-match suspension,

Porter after his two-game ban.

Dagenham & Redbridge have announced an extension to
their sponsorship deal with current sponsors Compass

fitness.

a one-match suspension.

is also available after completing his suspension.

Nigel Spink is boosted by a full Forest Green squad to
choose from as they look to inch clear of relegation

relegation places as they make the trip to Kingfield Road
to face Woking and he said: “We’ve got a clean
bill of health for this one.”

Terry Brown’s Hayes squad will be hit by suspension
against Barnet. Goalkeeper Bertrand Bossu serves a
one-match ban after being sent off in a recent clash with
Dagenham, while defender Jon Ashton has an identical
punishment after accumulating five yellow cards. Mark
Molesley is also out after his red card against
Northwich.
hereford
united
Player-coach Phil Robinson is one of three injury worries
ahead of his side’s tough trip to high-flying
Yeovil. Robinson (calf), defend-er Matt Clarke
(hamstring) and midfielder Scott Goodwin (abdomen) are
all battling to overcome injuries in time for the Huish
Park clash.
leigh rmi
Manager Steve Waywell is sweating on the fitness of three
key players ahead of their trip to Chester. Dino Maamria
(groin), Iain Swan (calf) and Dave German (knee) all
sustained injuries in the 1-0 victory over Stalybridge in
midweek and will be given as long as possible to prove
their fitness.
margate
Manager Chris Kinnear is without two players against
Stevenage at Broadhall Way. Defender Simon Beard is ruled
out with a foot injur y and midfielder Jay Saunders is
sidelined with a spinal problem. Defender Paul Lamb
should be fit after recovering from an ankle knock.
morecambe
Morecambe
manager Jim Harvey is set to name an unchanged line-up as
his side face Scarborough at Christie Park for the second
time this week. Top scorer Robbie Talbot is edging closer
to a first-team return after six weeks out with medial
ligament damage but Harvey revealed he is “still
recovering”.
northwich
victoria
Jimmy Quinn is boosted by the return of Mark Barnard to
the Northwich squad after suspension for the trip to
Telford. Barnard missed the dramatic FA Umbro Trophy
victory against the same opposition in midweek, but Quinn
has no other selection concerns ahead of the game.
nuneaton
borough
Nuneaton could be boosted by the return of Lee Howey when
they host Doncaster at Manor Park. Howey missed the 1-1
draw with Farnborough last week due to a toe injury but
is hopeful of proving his fitness in time to play. Marc
McGregor remains on the sidelines with a long-term
injury.
scarborough
Scarborough will have injured duo Steve Baker and Marcus
Jones missing as they attempt to gain revenge for their
midweek FA Trophy defeat by Morecambe. The two sides will
meet for the third time in eight days following
Morecambe’s 3-0 win on Tuesday in their fifth-round
replay.
southport
Manager Phil Wilson will have a full squad available when
they turn out for their first match in a fortnight
against Stalybridge. Wilson’s side have not played
since Februar y 16 when they earned a 2-0 win over
Woking, and the lengthy break has given a num-ber of
players the chance to shake off minor knocks.
stalybridge
celtic
Paul Futcher will have Sammy Ayorinde fit for the clash
with Southport. Ayorinde limped off during the 1-0 defeat
to Leigh RMI in midweek after taking a kick to the leg,
but he has shaken off the knock and will be available.
Futcher has an otherwise full-strength squad at his
disposal.
stevenage
borough
New manager Wayne Turner will be in charge of Stevenage
for the Conference clash at home to Margate. Turner quit
as assistant boss at Peterborough this week and was
quickly appointed at Broadhall Way following the
departure of Paul Fairclough. Gary Phillips has been
named Turner’s assistant.
telford
united
Boss Jake King has just one injury concern as his side
look for revenge against Northwich. Telford conceded two
goals in injury time during their FA Umbro Trophy clash
in midweek as Jimmy Quinn’s side secured an unlikely
3-2 victory. Gar y Fitzpatrick will have a late fitness
test.
woking
Woking’s Eddie Saunders is set to return to action
against Forest Green after a knee injury but four players
are rated as doubtful for the Cardinals. Barry Moore
(hamstring), Warren Patmore (back), Rob Hollingdale
(groin) and Roscoe D’Sane (ankle) will all have late
fitness tests.
yeovil
town
Gary Johnson is hoping to welcome back two players from
injury ahead of Yeovil’s match at home to
11th-placed Hereford. The Glovers boss said: “I have
got Kim Grant, Colin Pluck, Lee Johnson and Darren Way
out at the moment. But I am keeping my fingers crossed
that two of the four might make it.”
