Southern league division one S&W preview:

Paulton Rovers manager Andy Jones is looking for his side to cut out the silly errors and put away their chances to get their bid for a place in the play offs back on course.

They are still missing striker Dave Burborough who is injured and defender Jon Beswetherick who is unavailable due to work commitments while Mike Trought finally looks set to make his home debut in defence after a long absence through injury against third-placed Truro City.

Paulton Rovers (from): Phillips, Pendry, Tovey, Trought, Price, Ball, Cousins, Hughes, Lane, B Cleverley, French, D Cleverley. Whittington, Jefferies, Claridge, Flower.

Cinderford Town travel to North Leigh with manager Lee Relish looking for his side to build on Tuesday's victory at Paulton Rovers to put themselves back in the battle for a place in the play-offs.

Ben Davies and Craig Tate are both ruled out with hamstring injuries and there will be a late fitness test for Marvin Thompson (hamstring). But they include former Newport County and Weston player Danny Hill who has recently returned to this country after a spell in Australia.

Cinderford town (from): Bath, Harrison, Whitcombe, T Davies, Hammonds, Griffiths, Truman, Hartland, Hill, Bevan, Sommers, Caldwell, Heath, Price, Cowe.

Bridgwater Town's home game against Abingdon United is in doubt as the pitch was underwater yesterday morning after heavy overnight rain and although every effort will be made to get the pitch playable any rain last night would make it very doubtful.

Bridgwater Town (from): Manley, Price, Taylor, Middleton, Monks, J Laird, Trowbridge, Forward, Pepperall, Orchard, Mesica, Young, Duharty, Hirroli, Govier, Marshall.

Bishop's Cleeve are without defender Dan Avery who is ruled out with a hamstring injury for their home game against Taunton Town.

Manager Paul Collicutt is trying to bring in defender Ryan Paddock on a month's loan from Blue Square South Weston-super-Mare.

Taunton Town missed out on the chance to improve their position in midweek when they were beaten by bottom-of-the-table Andover and manager Ian Jones is looking for his side to complete a quick double over Cleeve who they beat 1-0 recently.

They are still without Charlie Welsh who is ruled out with a hamstring injury and the suspended John Harris, but manager Jones is able to name defender Owen Irish in his side as his proposed move to Truro City has not gone through yet.

Bishops Cleeve (from): Gilder, Buttery, Hopkins, S Avery, Paddock, Gascoyne, M Davis, Jackson, Mayo, Mansell, Alsop, Vercesi, L Davies, Acton, Tompkins.

Taunton Town (from): L Irish, Thomas, O Irish, Bailey, D Anthony, Cole, Lane, Pound, Simpson, Plummer, Smith, Edwards, McCootie, Newby.

Cirencester Town face a hard game at sixth-placed Thatcham Town.

Cirencester Town (from): King, Spalding, Curtis, Sysum, Mason, Courtney, Reid, Minturn, Davies, Etheridge, Brown, Griffin, Wimble, Williams, Dean, Curtis, Preece, Welsh.
