Clark and Moore face Boro

Gateshead captain Ben Clark and winger Chris Moore both begin their comebacks from injury in the behind closed doors reserves fixture against Middelesbrough at Hurworth this afternoon.

Clark has missed the last five games with a hamstring injury and Moore ten games with a shoulder complaint.

Clark partners Ewan Moyes at the centre of defence for the Central League fixture at Boro's training complex.

Martin Brittain, an influential sub at Telford on Saturday, gets more game time on the right while Paul Farman is between the posts and the fit again Tim Deasy on the bench.

Gateshead Res: Farman, Doyle, Rents, Briggs, Clark, Moyes, Brittain, Short, Fisher, Marshall, Moore
Subs: Gilbert, Deasy (gk), Cox
