Heather Pre-Match News
Central defender Gareth Langford returns to the Gresley FC squad for tonight's FA Cup extra qualifying round replay at Heather St John's after returning from a trip abroad at the weekend.
Heather fought back superbly from two goals down in the final 10 minutes of the original tie on Saturday to set up tonight's exciting replay. Gresley should also be able to include experienced utility player Paul Edwards for the first this season.
Edwards currently has weekend cricketing commitments keeping him out of Saturday action but due to to the lengthening early season injury problems at the Moat Ground he has been pencelled in for tonight's game.
Attacking players Rob Spencer (broken toe) and Stefan Marshall (hamstring) will miss out again with the latter hoping to be fit for the weekend's league game against Holbrook whilst fellow striker Andy Elliot limped out of Saturdays action with a slightly strained groin.
Manager Gary Norton hopes that the extra couple of days rest might be enough for Royce Turville (thigh) and Tom Betteridge (hamstring) to be included in tonight's team. Jordi Gough has been pencilled in for a Reserve team outing at the weekend but will not be risked in tonight's game for a early return from a back problem.
