DEFENDER Greg Oates and goalkeeper Peter Trego are set to return to the Margate squad for Saturday's Nationwide South trip to Newport County.

Margate will be making their longest journey of the season, looking to record a fourth straight Conference South win. Newport are fourth from bottom in the table.
