Horsham v Ramsgate

Jim Ward will be without suspended centre back Ryan Royston for their match against Horsham at Worthing's Woodside Road ground on Saturday.

The Rams are looking to build on last weekend’s impressive showing against runaway Ryman League, Premier Division leaders Dover.

Ward will bring in Dan Tanner to defence to replace Royston.

"He’s (Royston) been good for us and he’s scored goals," said Ward. "He’ll be missed but Dan Tanner will come in. He’s a decent player - we haven’t got a bad one at the club."

Last weekend’s goalless draw against Dover delighted Ward as his players showed what they could do.

"I thought we should have won the game and we must get a winning sequence going now."

Ward’s side currently sit three points off the relegation places and he’s looking forward to another game against Horsham.

He said: "We always have a great game against them and we spanked them at our place. The game ended 2-2 but we battered them."

Margate , who sit second from bottom, host Tooting & Mitcham on Saturday at Hartsdown Park.

Nathan Bailey looks set to return for Margate as do suspended duo Liam Harwood and Wayne Wilson. Kieran Morris is expected to miss out with a shoulder injury.

New signing Mark McGibbon could be set to make his home debut.
