Sam Page looks set to miss tomorrow's trip to Shoreham after hobbling out of last night's training session with a twisted knee. This latest injury is an unwelcome setback for the skipper who played his first 45 minutes of football since mid-March in Saturday's loss at Worthing.

"(Physio) Andi Marfleet will take another look at him over the next 24 hours and we'll see how it goes from there but I can't see him playing tomorrow," lamented a frustrated John Maggs who also saw Lee Carney fall foul of the Collyers playing surface after he, too, limped away with an ankle problem.

With Gary Charman ruling himself out of the pre-season programme to work on his fitness, Maggs will continue to use the fixtures to assess a number of trialists, among them 20 year old Jack Lyons who is expected to go straight in to the side to face the Musselmen at Middle Road tomorrow night (kick-off 7.45pm). The Crawley-based midfielder was a member of the Crystal Palace Youth Academy before moving on to Peterborough United and, latterly, Yeovil Town and was introduced to the club by Lee Carney. "He looks an exciting player," admits the manager. "He doesn't look like a footballer, to be honest, but he's got a terrific touch on him and has been excellent in training. He's a confident lad, and I know he's interested other clubs, so I'm hopeful that we can keep hold of him."

The County Leaguers triumphed 3-2 against the Hornets in the sides' last meeting, knocking Maggs' side out of the Brighton Charity Cup semi-finals last March.
