FAIRFORD face another cup away day when they travel to Screwfix League Bridport in the Vase.

Mark Webb's side always seem to be drawn on the road and they face an unenviable task against the unpredictable Dorset side.

Their chances will not be helped by the loss of Lee Stoddart and Courtney Chessel who are away this weekend.

Top scorer Stoddart is likely to be a continued absentee after landing a new job that will require Saturday work.

Chris Knowles (calf) and Simon Gregory (head injury) both miss out after picking up knocks in Wednesday night's defeat at Carterton.

With potential loan targets not willing to get cup tied, manager Webb will have to draft in a selection of reserve team players.

Melksham Town have an all Screwfix League tie at neighbours Westbury United.

Melksham boss Nigel Tripp should hand a debut to new signing Brian Kayll.

AFTER their heroics in the Vase last season, Devizes have been handed a bye until the second round proper.

The Nursteed Road outfit defied their lowly league position and financial problems to make the final eight last term, so Dave Hopkins' side travel to Brislington in a Screwfix Premier Division game tomorrow.

Player-boss Hopkins has a crippling injury list which features himself, Dave Lloyd, Brad Newman, Kevin Bush, Steve Campbell and Justin Lyle, but he hopes to sign an unnamed Hellenic League striker ahead of the trip.
