KNEE OPERATION: Greg Oates is out for the rest of the season

Folkestone Invicta v Margate

MARGATE boss Chris Kinnear is struggling to field a full-strength team for his side's John Ullman Kent Senior Cup semi-final against Folkestone Invicta at Cheriton Road on Tuesday.

Greg Oates is definitely out as he is due to undergo a knee operation on Friday and will miss the rest of the season and Peter Benevides (ankle) and Billy Edwards (groin) are both doubtful.

Kinnear may be forced to gamble on the fitness of former Gillingham youngster Mark Green, who could start his first game since breaking his leg in September.

Tonight's winners will play Dover Athletic in the final on a date yet to be decided.

Kick-off tonight is at 7.45pm.
