TEAM NEWS
Spartans will be looking to get back on track after the last couple of games has seen us on the end of 2 defeats as we travel away to Buxton. The Darlington 1883 match was a sharp reminder to all that performances need to be of a high quality no matter who we play, especially if we're aiming to remain in the play-off contention.
A few players were rested against The Quakers on Wednesday night and Tom Wade has reported that a few of those players will be looking to be getting back into the squad for the upcoming fixture. Davis being one of those players who didn't make the squad on Wednesday after not recovering in time but will be hoping to get himself on the team bus heading to Silverlands Saturday morning.
