MARGATE bid for a place in the quarter-finals of the FA Trophy tonight when they travel to the Midlands to take on Nationwide Conference rivals Telford.

Manager Boss Chris Kinnear will be without striker Manny Omoyinmi who has returned to Nationwide League side Oxford after completing his loan spell at the Gate.

Darren Watson could come in to partner Jean Michel Sigere although Kinnear will need to take a check on his fitness after he was substituted during the latter stages of Saturday's 3-0 league win at Northwich.

Awaiting the winners of tonight's tie is a testing sixth round match away to Shrewsbury.
