Worthing v Margate

Margate boss Barry Ashby will have to check on the fitness of two players before naming his side for the FA Cup first qualifying round tie at Worthing on Saturday.

Louis Smith and Ryan Peters both picked up knocks in the 2-1 defeat at Tooting in midweek.

Defender Smith was forced off in the first half with a knee problem, while Peters went off with an ankle injury, so both must be doubtful for the trip.

Worthing beat Combined Counties League Camberley 6-0 in the previous round

Meanwhile, Ashby is facing an FA charge for improper conduct in the club's Ryman League Premier Division game at Harlow on September 2. He has until Friday September 19 to respond.
