MARGATE will again be without leading defender Sam Sodje for their Nationwide Conference home game against Dagenham and Redbridge at Dover on Saturday.

Sodje missed last weekend's defeat at Leigh RMI because of a one-game suspension and he has now been handed a three-match ban following his sending off in the recent home win over Telford. Graham Porter is again likely to deputise.

Midfielder Danny Murphy also sits out the Dagenham game through suspension.
