Test for Boro

Date published: 16 September 2011


NON-LEAGUE FOOTBALL: OLDHAM Boro face their sternest test of the season so far tomorrow when they entertain unbeaten leaders Norton United in Vodkat North-West Counties League Division One.

With five wins and a draw to their name so far, the visitors are the only team in the division not to have lost a game this term.

Seventh-placed Boro hope to welcome back Damien Schofield, who has missed two matches with a knee complaint.

But that news has been tempered by the fact Will Buck has been ruled out for six weeks with a groin injury.

Carl Parsons (other commitments), Liam Moore (hip) and Alex Dibley (shoulder) are also absent.

Manager Tony Mills said: “We know it is going to be a difficult match because they are yet to lose a game, but we will not make it easy for them.”

Mid-table Chadderton go to fourth-placed Irlam in the same division



MOSSLEY go in search of their third successive victory when they take on Salford City at Seel Park.

The Lilywhites have started to turn the corner after a disappointing start to the campaign, and saw off Ossett Albion and Garforth Town in the space of three days.
