Both East Thurrock United and Billericay Town will find themselves well below full strength tonight when they clash in an Essex Senior Cup quarter-final at Rookery Hill tonight.
The New Lodge outfit have particular difficulties in the striking department where one-time Grays star Jamie Wallace is suspended and both recent signing Gary Ansell and Andy Douglas are cup-tied.
It all seems certain to mean a recall for former Football League striker Paul Fewings, whose first team opportunities have been limited since his return from a loan spell with Bishop's Stortford.
Young reserve Danny Gilley could also be in line for a rare senior start.
Rocks are having a torrid time in Division One North where they have won just once in 16 games and are in strong danger of being relegated, currently standing third from bottom.
They will have as many as four players missing on bans with front runner Keith Martin ineligible. The two sides could both go into action a little "ring rusty" for weather conditions have sidelined both since December 28.
