Gilbery set for first start as Bluebird target upturn

SATURDAY SUPPLEMENTARY CUP ROUND ONE

BLUEBIRD United will look to return to winning ways when they meet Yelverton.

Bluebird have picked up one point from their first two matches in the Supplementary Cup: they lost 1-0 to Plympton RBL and last week drew 2-2 with Marjon.

Manager Craig Harrison is expected to hand new signing Mark Gilbery his first start.

Bluebird (from): A Roberts, B Kershaw, C Pond, W Crowe, D Williams, D Card, D Ellis, D Lavis, J Dyer, J Lee, K Elliott, K Kennedy, K Rowe, L Cameron, M Gilbery, M King, M White, M Taylor, M Vanstone, P Williams, R Blake, S Colville, T Hall, T Steere

Yelverton (from): C Hardcastle, I McLaren, S Relf, B Attwood, T Hood, A Hatch, R Howell, B Southern, J Glanville, J Jenkins, C Pender, T Hughes, J Palmer, B Gargett, L Gargett, J O'Connor, S Roberts, J Melhuisa, T Jenkins, D Bescott, L Horn

TAVISTOCK Community FC earned a respectable 1-1 draw against Wessex Rangers in their last game, and they will be confident of getting all three points against Chaddlewood Miners OB B.

Tavistock (from): J Aggis, J Payne, A Bacon, K Robinson, M White, P Gliddon, S Krotke, M Smallcombe, D Brockington, A Dodd, J Phillpotts, A Pillay, B Stephens, L Wickett, J Anderson, W Hall, N John, W Downham

CHADDLEWOOD have lost their last two games, their most recent a defeat to Chaddlewood Miners OB A, who are away to Yealm United.

DIVISION ONE

ROBOROUGH entertain Horrabridge Rangers SA as they try to close the gap at the top.

Roborough are four points behind Manadon and will look to do the double over Rangers after beating them 7-0 on the first day of the season.

Wessex Rangers have only picked up one point from their last three league outings.

But victory against Ivybridge Town could see them move back into the top three.

Manager Lee Jeffery is pleased to have midfielder Gary Dickson, who has been unavailable for the last three months, back in his squad.

Wessex (from): P Knight, J Cordan, L Ashford, R Conn, K Nicholson, J Mesham, M THackery, S Hillson, R Stephens, G Ashton, A Banfield, L Johnson, J Jones, J Hoare, J Danies, N Daly

DIVISION TWO

LEE Moor A will cut Vospers Oak Villa's lead at the top of Division Two to a point if they beat Plympton RBL.

It would take a mighty effort from Plympton to take a point off a Lee Moor side, which boasts a 100 per cent record in the league.

Managers Paul Bailey and Mike Bridgeman will be sweating on the fitness of Ash Ring and Jake Bridgeman.

Brett Cole and Mo Wilmot are both definitely unavailable.

Lee Moor (from): G Richards, W Powney, A Clark, S Powney, J Fuller, J Bridgeman, D Macmillan, B Nosworthy, D Wheeler, A Ring, L Molloy, A Neal, S Blatchford, L Russell, K Crowley

SHAKESPEARE, yet to win in 2012, will be determined to set the record straight against FC Bacaro.

The host club will be boosted by the return of Matt Easby and Tommy Reese to the squad.

University A have won all six of their games and a seventh victory against Windsor Car Sales would see them move above their opponents into fourth place in the table.

DIVISION THREE

AFTER last week's 3-0 victory over The Windmill in the Saturday Supplementary Cup, Hideaway Café will be in buoyant mood ahead of their match against Horrabridge Rangers SA Reserves.

Hideaway are 22 points ahead of Rangers but they must be wary having already lost 4-2 to them earlier this season.

Morley Rangers A will look to keep pace with Hideaway when they host University B.

It is third versus fourth as Steam Packet take on Roborough Reserves in what is a crucial match in the promotion race.

Defeat for Roborough will be a massive blow as that would put Steam Packet seven points ahead of them with four games in hand.

DIVISION FOUR

MAINSTONE SSC will take another step towards clinching promotion with three points against Woodford who they have already beaten 4-1 this term.

Windmill (from): S France, B Pendall, R Tully, R Fice, A Caddy, T Hill, R Dawe, A Anderson, S Carter, D Butcher, M Dalley, S Dalley, S Ardis, J Williams, R Vincent, S Vincent, S Finn, J Clancy, L Smith, D Parr

TAVISTOCK AFC are without goalkeeper Craig Mullholland for their derby against local rivals Tavistock Hire Centre. AFC manager Shaun Moloney is expected to take over between the sticks.
