GEORGE Edmundson and Kallum Mantack both turned out for Alfreton Town in their last-gasp 3-2 victory over Stalybridge Celtic.

Centre-back Edmundson and right-back or winger Mantack were on the field for the full 90 minutes as Nicky Law's side, who went 2-0 up before being pegged back, scored in the final minute.

Another player out on loan, Jamie Stott, played for Curzon Ashton in their 2-0 loss at Brackley Town in the Vanarama National League North.

Winger Danny Byrnes joined Evo-Stik League First Division North side Ossett Albion last week and helped his new club to a 2-0 win against Radcliffe Borough in the Evo-Stik League Northern Premier First Division North, while a hamstring problem prevented Lee Knight from turning out for Ashton United.

ATHLETIC are awaiting an installation date for a new crowd-funded score board.

A sum of £22,835 was raised earlier this year in a 'Know the Score' campaign to buy a screen at SportsDirect.com Park, in a joint venture between Trust Oldham and the club.

The club are now waiting on further news from the suppliers before making an official announcement.

ATHLETIC legend Denis Irwin has been inducted into the National Football Museum's Hall of Fame.

Irwin, who Alex Ferguson feels was pound-for-pound his greatest ever signing for Manchester United, joined 10 other names: Mark Lawrenson, David Seaman, Gordon Strachan, John Robertson, cerebal palsy player Martin Sinclair, Rachel Unitt, Rachel Brown-Finnis, Billy Liddell, Rio Ferdinand and Neville Southall.
