Trinity will have new signing Trevor Benjamin in their squad for the encounter , the Former Jamaica international has been much travelled of late playing for no less than six clubs football league clubs in the past four seasons.

Wayne Phillips may have competition to stay in the starting line up with new signing Matt Hocking also fighting for first team place, its doubtful that that John Brackstone will have recovered from his ankle injury for this match.
Graeme Armstrong is in electric form and will not doubt be wanting to add to his tally of 3 for the season so far, might he have a Michael Rea start upfront with him at Gainsborough with David Southern being below par in his last two performances.
