PAULTON Rovers, whose hopes of making progress in the FA Trophy and FA Cup were ended last week, face a difficult trip to take on big-spending Truro City tonight.

Truro are second in Southern League Division One South and West with a game in hand on leaders Cinderford, and Paulton manager Andy Jones is looking to strengthen as he looks to maintain their bid to win promotion.

"While it would have been nice to have progressed in the FA Trophy and FA Cup, where there is big money to be won, promotion to the Premier Division has always been my main aim this season", Jones said.

"Cinderford and Truro, along with ourselves, are the three unbeaten sides in the division so it will be a big game.

"But we have shown this season that when we are at our best we are a match for any side in the division."

With no injury problems as a result of Saturday's FA Cup defeat at Horsham, Jones relies on the same squad, which means they are still without injured defenders Mike Trought and Steve Tovey.

However, there could be new faces in the Paulton ranks soon, as Jones added: "I have put in seven days' notice of approach to Larkhall Athletic for striker Dave Bailey and I will be talking to another player in the next couple of days."
