Substitute Linesman on a wet night like this…

Behave!

I’m injured at present so my younger prodigee sat in. Well done to James Nattrass.

Considering the following:

Neil Black cup-tied
Paul Booth injured
Kieran Lugsden carrying an ankle injury
Paul Williams playing out of position upfront instead of left back on his debut.

What a great result!

Witton now at home on Saturday 7th February in Round 5 against Guisley.

Where are Olsen and Smyth?

Bit of an anti-climax after saturday - 110 braving the dreadful weather.
Dire first half the only highlight being the injury to the assistant referee. Second half we went up a gear and after a fortunate own goal there looked to only one winner and Ashley Dunn duly obliged.

I can smell a TROPHY B)

As has been commented elsewhere, Olsen has left (due to sign for Marine apparently).

As far as i’m aware, as has been the case since the Marine league game, Smyth is injured.

Marine put 7 days notice in for James Olsen last week, and he is now their player.

Mark Smyth has a knee injury, which he can’t shake off. He is arranging for a scan to access the damage

I do hope that Marine put in their seven days notice prior to speaking to the player, otherwise that would be against the rules and surely warrant some form of discipline such as a points deduction!

Could we have their points?! :wink:
