Gresley Rovers' 16-year-old goalkeeper Simon Baldwin is restored to the starting line-up for tomorrow's Dr Martens Western Division clash against struggling Cinderford Town (3pm).
Baldwin gets the nod over out-of-form Ian Wright and takes over from Ian Simms whose errors cost the Moatmen both goals in their 3-2 win over Sutton Coldfield Town on Tuesday.

Moat boss Brian Kenning has also had to draft in youngsters James Lewsley and Jon Jenkinson with four first team regulars missing.

Goalkeeper Richard Selby is still suffering with a shoulder injury, while midfielders Mark Peters (suspended), Richie Gardner (hamstring), and Adie Doughty (groin) are all out.

That means Steve Coates will be thrust back into action after serving a three game ban.

Of tomorrow's opponents, Kenning said: "We know exactly how they play. They are a big side who play direct football but we have talked about how to cope with it."

Gresley from: Baldwin, Broadhurst, Bluck, Wardle, Warren, Middleton, Reynolds, Coates, Roberts, Lewsley, Tucker, Allsop, Sandar, Jenkinson, King.
