Team Bath's Abbott in trial move
Team Bath top-scorer Steve Abbott has joined Blue Square Premier side Wrexham on trial and will miss today's trip to Hayes and Yeading.
The midfielder is bidding for a professional contract with the Welsh outfit.
Left-back Greg Lake, 20, has been recalled from his loan spell with Frome Town and is likely to make his debut.

Bath City welcome back veteran goalkeeper Steve Perrin for their home game with Maidenhead.
Regular No 1 Paul Evans starts a three-game ban so the Paulton Rovers man stands in.
Adam Connolly (groin) and Lewis Hogg (suspension) are available again.
Winger Ali Gibb could make his Bath debut before Christmas. The former Bristol Rovers man broke an ankle in pre-season.
Bath City (from): Perrin, G Jones, Coupe, Holland, Slocombe, Rollo, Simpson, S Jones, Badman, R Evans, Douglas, Gilroy, Hogg, Connolly, Edwards, Rogers.
Weston-super-Mare will be without striker Ryan Havard, who has left the club, and defender Cederic Abraham (suspension) for today's home game with Basingstoke.

Dorchester (from): Stewart, Coward, Peprah-Annan, Marsh-Brown, Bowles, Hill, Clay, Crittenden, Nicholson, Gleeson, Mudge, Moss, Liburd, Watts, Mitchell, Critchel, Taylor, Jermyn.
