Saltash manager Stuart Dudley is hopeful Matt Cusack will have recovered from the hamstring injury that has kept him sidelined for the past couple of weeks.

Torpoint are looking to build on their first league victory of the season, when they beat Ivybridge 3-0 last weekend. But they are still without striker, Liam Thornton, who is struggling with a hamstring injury.

TOMORROW

TAVISTOCK, who relinquished top spot to Launceston in midweek, face their toughest task of the season so far, when they travel to champions Bodmin Town (3pm).

The Priory Park outfit are unbeaten in their four, league games this season, but the Lambs travel to Cornwall with confidence high after a run of six league victories which has shot them up the table.

Tavistock will be without midfielder Ian Rooke, who is suspended, but otherwise have a full squad available.

"Bodmin were always going to be the yardstick for everyone in our league," said Lambs' boss Ian Southcott.

"Even though they have played three games fewer than us it is very pleasing to have built up an eight-point cushion and to put them under some pressure so early in the season,"

He added: "We will miss Rooke, but the one thing our lads are doing is playing as a team and they are more than capable of getting something from this game if they continue their good work."

ELBURTON VILLA will be without suspended midfielder Sam Khakbazan for their trip to Bickland Park where Falmouth Town await them (3pm).

Goalkeeper Simon May returns from his holiday and Villa are hoping strikers Levi Landricombe (knee) and Sam Stevens (hamstring) pass late fitness tests.

PLYMOUTH PARKWAY will have a full-strength squad available for their trip to Pennygillam to take on in-form Launceston (3pm).

Callum Martindale and Jamie Bass have both recovered from the knocks they sustained in the FA Cup defeat at Buckland and will join the squad.

"We have to forget the national cup competitions now and concentrate on getting more league points on board," said Parkway boss Wayne Hillson.

LISKEARD ATHLETIC manager Martin Burgess will be in the dugout at Trefrew Park after his back operation was cancelled this week.

One person who will be missing long term is midfielder Kevin Kendall, who has suffered a bad knee injury. One bonus for the Blues is the return, from suspension, of central defender Jordan Pearce.

Liskeard (from): C Wearing, P Bromhead, J Notman, A Hulme, A Ridge, C Brimicombe, M Hawes, J Simmonds, R Almond, C Clarke, L Johnson, A Neal, S Murphy, J Pearce, C Powell-Thomas, D Barker
