Saints Manager Tom Weaver takes his side to Abermule on Saturday for a long overdue league fixture.
Abermule were on a good run up until the rain came and had moved above the Saints into fourth place in the league. Weaver will be without the suspended Phil Davies, Steve and Will Goodwin(unavailable) also Stu Snedden, Josh Davies and Tom James are also unavailable. The break has given Chris Preece time to fully get over his hamstring injury, it’s also helped striker Kevin Jones in his recovery from a long term injury, Steve Jones is called into the squad to help out.

Weaver said “It will be good to finally get back playing after such a long lay off, we’ve had some good training sessions so hopefully the boys will be keen and raring to go”.
Abermule v The Saints k.o. 2.30pm.
The Sunday Saints are home this weekend when they host Toros FC, this will be one of the tougher games with nothing between the sides in the league, Toros are just one place behind the Saints and would go above us with a win due to a superior goal difference.
The squad will be without Phil Davies, Zac Snape, John Sly all working, Jake Atkinson, Will and Steve Goodwin and Gareth Ratcliffe all unavailable, in come new signings Joel Weale and Ben Bevan.
Player Manager Gareth Jenkins said “It’s not ideal having so many players missing for our first game back after a ten week break but we have a strong squad and are looking to get our season up and running again with a good result”
The Sunday Saints v Toros FC k.o.11am (Sunday).
