PETERSFIELD Town will be without the services of striker Zach Nicholson-Pibworth for at least six weeks due to injury.

The young forward, who dislocated his shoulder during the game against Beaconsfield SYCOB on December 17, has been told he will require surgery before he can return to full fitness.

Rams boss John Robson isn’t expecting to see his player again much before the beginning of March – a mid-February return could prove to be over-optimistic.

Petersfield are in action next Tuesday (January 10) when they head to AFC?Portchester in the quarter finals of the Russell Cotes Cup (7.45pm).
