Hampton & Richmond Borough management pair Paul Barry and Darren Powell have seen their pre-season plans thrown into turmoil as keeper Rodney Chiweshe will miss the forthcoming Ryman Premier League campaign after rupturing his Achilles at the weekend.
The pair are now hunting a replacement with less than five weeks to go until the start of the season.
The Beavers go to Corinthian Casuals this weekend for the Geoff Harvey Memorial Vase tournament that sees them take on Merstham tomorrow, Kingstonian and the hosts on Sunday. Hampton welcome a Brentford XI to the Beveree on Tuesday night.
