Damnian Spencer goes straight into the starting line-up as Eastbourne Borough bid to end a run of eight consecutive league defeats at home to Grimsby Town today.

The striker signed on loan from Aldershot yesterday partners Jamie Taylor up front with Richard Pacquette still sidelined by injury.

Fellow new signing Mickey Demetriou has to be content with a place on the bench though with defenders Neil Jenkins and Gary Elphick both passing late fitness tests.

Simon Weatherstone also makes his first start for seven weeks as he comes into the centre of midfield in place of Eddie Hutchinson while Dan Walker replaces the injured Matt Crabb on the left wing and Ethan Strevett comes in for Simon Johnson on the right.

There is a place on the bench for Andy Atkin on his return from injury.
