Bryson missing

NON-LEAGUE FOOTBALL: OLDHAM Boro are without the services of wing-back Jerome Bryson for tonight’s Vodkat North-West Counties League Division One clash at home to Atherton Collieries (7.45pm kick-off).

Bryson is working, while midfielder Mike Cheetham is still struggling with a knee injury and is also likely to be missing.

Defender Lee Deakin, who has been absent for three weeks with flu, was expected to return at the weekend, when Boro lost 2-1 at Norton United, but he was deemed not fit enough.

However, boss Tony Mills expects him to be back for tonight’s clash.
