Poole Town v Merthyr Town

The Martyrs have collected more points on their travels than at home, and on Tuesday (7.45pm k,o) they travel to a Poole side unbeaten in 10 matches undefeated at home for 14 games. Poole have won seven and drawn seven of their last 14 home fixtures and say "There's no denying we need to turn the draws into wins." They have been boosted by the return of Tony Lee and Wes Fogden,

Owen Brain on for Kieran Evans in second half. A great chance as a ball from Brain is spilled by thw goalkeeper but Rees misses out. Poole reduced to 10 men 65 mins with Declan Rose getting a straight red after a foul. 74 mins Bonthron on for Davies Into stoppage time and 10 men seasiders make it 2-0. Jake Andrews scores.

Sounds like a battling performance away again but just fell short.

Lewis Powell and Jack Evans not been involved since the Harrow game. I’m guessing Powell is still not 100% fit, but not sure on Evans.

Jack Evans flew from France especially for the Harrow game and then flew back. It's due to work commitments and I think he won't be available until the end of March.

Thanks Tim.
