BASHLEY striker Richard Gillespie came through a full-scale practice game on Wednes-day and is included in their squad for a home clash against Clevedon tomorrow (3pm).
Gillespie has been sidelined with an ankle injury while the New Foresters have won three Southern League Premier Division games on the trot.
But the British Gas Business League's top scorer last season is still expected to feature at some stage against Bashley's fellow promotion rivals Clevedon at the Recreation Ground.
Gillespie was on target in Bashley's 5-0 win at United Services, a match in which midfielder Chris Knowles also came through unscathed following injury.
Knowles also returns to the squad, with manager Steve Riley "hopeful" striker Dave Town is declared fit after coming off during Bashley's 2-0 home triumph over Chippenham last Saturday with a calf strain.
Bashley: (from) Elm, Gazzard, Ferrett, Castle, Archbold, Smith, Hardwell, Davis, Moss, Wakefield, Town, Tarr, Keeler, Keeping, Hollick, Morant, Gillespie, Knowles.
- New Milton manager Trevor Parker will be back on duty for their tough visit to Wessex leaders Totton tomorrow (3pm).
Parker missed New Milton's 2-0 midweek Russell-Cotes Cup home win over Ringwood after being stuck in a traffic jam for three hours on the M27.
He had been working in Brighton during the day and set off in good time to reach Fawcett's Field before the 7.45pm kick-off.
Because of the hold up, and only getting back to his home by 7.15pm, Parker decided it would be better if assistant Richie Phip-pard took charge on the night.
Kishan Chengadu returns to New Milton's squad after missing the Ringwood encounter.
But John Grace and Dominic Allen are unavailable.
New Milton: (from) Jones, Marks, R Chengadu, Neville, Pidgely, Booker, Walker, Grace, Burt, Mekchiche, Ewen, Long, Henwood, Holt, Smith, K Chengadu.
- Hamworthy United hope to parade Michael Glavin for the first time at Alton following his anticipated move from Downton.
Hamworthy United: (from) Peters, Byrne, Gilbert, Walker, Jackson, Connett, R Middleton, Dean, Legg, Thomas, Pinder, Byerley, Mutch, B Williams, Glavin, Horlock.
- Christchurch include wideman Tom Price, their new signing from Eastleigh, in their squad for Romsey's visit.
Christchurch: (from) Loader, Costello, Daniel Taylor, Hughes, Linpow, Crutchley, Borthwick, Rideout, Glasspool, Midgeley, Burrows, Cook, Lawrence, Manning, Coleman, Woolner, Price.
- Ringwood stick with the same squad that lost 2-0 at New Milton for their home league match against Brading.
Ringwood: (from) Rhodes, Greaves, Lead-bitter, Wright, Russon, Pierson, Brunnen, Sajic, Bellott, Carroll, Gogan, Dan Taylor, Atkins.
- New Verwood signing Richard Green goes straight into their squad for a Division One home clash against Stockbridge.
Green replaces defender Chris Lynch who completes a one-game suspension.
