BILLY Lowes will be missing again as AFC Totton bid to continue their blistering start to 2015 at Stratford Town tonight.

The on-loan Poole midfielder suffered a dead leg in training last Thursday and missed Saturday’s 2-0 win at Wimborne – the Stags’ fourth successive victory in the Southern One South & West.

“Billy won’t play again tonight, but Nathan Hurst came in on Saturday and did a very good job,” said manager Steve Riley.

“Stratford are third and it’s going to be a really tough game tonight.

“But that’s 12 points out of 12 for us this year and I just want to ride the wave and keep going with it.”

Stratford, who have won nine and drawn two of their 13 home fixtures, have strengthened their attacking options with Kevin Charley from Northern Premier outfit Barwell.

And it was the Warwickshire club’s new strike signing who netted the decider in Saturday’s 1-0 win at Yate.
