Halesowen manager Martin O'Connor hopes to have a clean bill of health in his squad for tomorrow's clash with Chippenham at The Grove.

The Yeltz could have veteran striker Duane Darby and full back Dave Haywood back from injuries after both players stepped up their training this week.

And midfielders Shane Paul and Davion Hamilton are both hoping to shrug off minor injury concerns to retain their places in the team.

The only confirmed absentee for the British Gas Business League Premier Division clash is full-back Sean Platt, who serves a one-match ban following his red card against Yate.

And, after a week in which the club's future has been thrown into the spotlight, general manager Colin Brookes is hoping for some welcome relief.

He said: "There has been a lot of interest in the club this week so we're hoping for a good crowd. It will be nice to get back on the pitch."
