FC CLACTON will be without two key midfielders for tonight's home clash with Debenham LC in Ridgeons League division one.

Ash Pereira and Dan Smith are both unavailable for personal reasons and Seasiders boss David Coyle said: "We're struggling for numbers a bit, especially in midfield, which is a shame because it's a big game.

"If we win we can go above them and it would be nice to get back in the top six or seven."
