POPPIES boss Ken Vaughan hopes to have Max Crow and Will Robinson available for tonight's testing trip to Moneyfields (7.45pm).

Crow returns to the squad after missing Friday's 1-0 defeat at Sholing while midfielder Robinson is set to recover from the knock that forced his withdrawal at the Silverlake Arena.

However, Vaughan will have to do without striker Zouaoui Lamalli for up to six weeks after his troublesome knee - operated on over the summer - continues to cause the Algerian hitman problems. Keeper Kenny Vaughan Jnr is also on the sidelines.

Poppies will be searching for their first points of the season in their third consecutive away game against a Moneys side who have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their Wessex League campaign.

Poppies: (from) Lillington, Ayrton, Jackson, Clarke, Bartlett, Andrews, Crow, Corby, Warren, Burgis, Phillips, Pearce, Saadi, Turner, Batchelor, Robinson.
