MARGATE will again be without suspended defender Sam Sodje when they take on Dorchester in their FA Trophy third round replay at the Hoverspeed Stadium tonight, kick-off 7.45pm.

Loan signing Lenny Piper is also ruled out because Dagenham and Redbridge do not want him cup-tied.

Manager Chris Kinnear will be hoping that midfielder Jay Saunders will have recovered from the ankle injury he sustained in the closing minutes of Saturday's 2-2 draw.

Striker Darren Watson missed the first game through illness but could return.

The winners will earn a home tie against Worksop Town of the Unibond Northern Premier League on Saturday, January 31.
