Minehead player-manager Andy Hodgson has declared himself virtually fully fit after suffering from a knee injury since the start of the season.

Hodgson played in a friendly for Somerset Fire Brigade's soccer side last week and says he has suffered no reaction.

And he was due to play in another match for the Brigade's Over 35s yesterday (Thursday, October 3).

He has been back in training and has included himself in the 14-man squad for tomorrow's Screwfix League first division game at home to Bristol Manor Farm.

"It's a game I would expect to win," said Hodgson earlier this week.

Manor Farm have gained the same number of points as Minehead from the same number of games, although scoring more and conceding more.

Centre back Keith Graddon, who rejoined the club at the beginning of the season, misses the game because he is working in India.

But he should be back to play in another couple of games before going on a two-week holiday.

Another veteran defender Adrian Giblett, who has made more than 550 appearances for the club and has also managed the club, returns after injury to replace Graddon.

Giblett has been suffering from a calf muscle strain in recent weeks.
