Hinckley Downes Pre-Match News
Gresley manager Gary Norton will hope not to make too many changes to his team to face Hinckley Downes at the Moat Ground (3pm).
One definite change will have to be in defence as Jack Coulson is facing up to eight weeks out with possible ankle ligament damage collected during their midweek defeat at Holbrook Miners Welfare. Gareth Langford, who missed that game due to university commitments, could take Coulson's place with Martin Gadsby resuming his midfield role. Norton also has young defender Tom Land who is in the squad.
Richard Butler is also a doubt suffering from a groin problem with Rhys Powell and Adam Betteridge ready to take the left back slot.
Brian Woodall seems to have come through his 30 minutes of pitch time at Holbrook without any reaction and Tom Betteridge is recovering from a foot injury and has been kicking a ball for the first time in several weeks.
Gresley from: Hateley, Baldwin, Powell, A Betteridge, Hill, Barrett, Langford, Woodall, Slater, Lyons, Gasdby, Gough, T Betteridge, Turville, Spencer, Weightman, Land.
