Mossley in late checks on main men

FOOTBALL; MOSSLEY are sweating on the fitness of two key men ahead of tomorrow’s trip to Brigg Town in the FA Challenge Trophy first qualifying round.

Utility man Tom Ingham has a shoulder injury, while wing-back Cavell Coo has a strained hamstring.

Marksman Cameron Darkwah misses out — he is cup-tied as part of an agreement with Stockport County.

Peter Band, Harry Noone and Alex Byrne are pushing for recalls to Gareth McClelland’s starting line-up.

The winners of the tie receive £2,200 in prize money.

He said: “We have a few lads keen to get back in the first team so there is plenty of competition for places.

“I am very keen to get a positive result at Brigg Town because, as I said in the summer, a cup run is so important to us.”


OLDHAM Boro entertain Holker Old Boys in the Vodkat North-West Counties League.
Midfielder Kyle Parsons is expected to return, having been absent due to work
commitments.

Boro joint manager Gary Brown, whose side are sixth, said: “We are expecting a tough time because Holker are fifth for a reason and they a big, physical side.”


CHADDERTON, who occupy 10th position, go to third-placed Wigan Robin Park in the NWCL Division One.
