Radstock Town v Melksham Town

ASSISTANT boss Pete Cooper takes charge for today's trip to Radstock in the absence of manager Kelvin Highmore, who is sunning himself on a beach in Crete.

Cooper will be without the suspended Josh Brigham and striker Steve Tweddle, who is on holiday in the USA.

Goalkeeper Danny Holdcroft is on coaching duty with the Great Britain bob skeleton team, so reserve team stopper Gareth Evans comes in.

Corsham Town v Bitton

COLIN Bush has put in seven days' notice for a Toolstation League defender after new signing Peter Tisdale quit the Southbank after just three games.

Tisdale has joined Southern League outfit Swindon Supermarine, leaving Bush with just one experienced centre-half in Colin Towler.

Gary Blackwood will miss today's visit of Bitton with a groin injury and midfielder John Woods is also a doubt.

Frome Town v Barnstaple Town

JOE Gomes will definitely miss today's clash with Barnstaple at Badgers Hill after suffering suspected knee ligament damage in the defeat to Devizes.

Striker Matt Cooper is also unavailable but Paul Farrell and Alex Lapham should return.

Mangotsfield United and Team Bath have both put in seven days' notice for striker Mark Salter, who last week turned down Weston-super-Mare.

Sherborne Town v Westbury United

WESTBURY should be well rested for their trip to Sherborne after last Saturday's fixture against Ilfracombe was postponed due to county call-ups.

James Dowd is still struggling to be fit after suffering a recurrence of an ankle injury in a reserve team game last week.

Nick Beales should return from his knee injury but fellow midfielder David Thompson is away on holiday.

Bradford Town v Backwell United

MIDFIELDER Charlie Powell returned to light training this week for the first time since injuring his ankle ligaments last month.

Powell will not be available for today's visit of Backwell but hopes to play again some time in November.

Goalkeeper Charlie Heydon, back from his exploits with the Wiltshire under 18s, should start between the posts. Heydon is the subject of a seven days' approach from rivals Biddestone.

Hengrove Athletic v Biddestone

AFTER taking just one point from their last two league fixtures, Biddestone will hope to get back to winning ways in Whitchurch this afternoon.

The club were due to play a practice match at Mangotsfield on Wednesday but the Cossham Street side cancelled.

Ollie Gee and Eddie Drury are back from holiday and go straight back into the side. Striker Joe O'Chuko serves the second of a three-match ban for the red card he picked up against Wellington.

Calne Town

WITH no Premier Division fixture for the Lilywhites this weekend, boss Robbie Lardner will have time to ponder three straight league defeats.

Calne will have to wait until next Saturday to get their challenge back on track when they host struggling Torrington at Bremhill View.

The players will be put through their paces in training as Lardner and assistant boss Simon Hillier look to improve the team's consistency.
