Attention switches to the League Trophy this Saturday for our Second Team when they host Horbury Town Reserves at Barr Field.

The match has a 2 pm kick-off time, and the gates will be open for around 1 pm if you would like to come in for a pre-match drink in our clubhouse. The weather is forecast to be cloudy with occasional sunny intervals.

The Opposition.

Like their first team, Horbury's Reserves are having a superb season, both in the Alliance Division 1, where they are in second place and the various cups.

They set up this second-round tie by beating Shelley Reserves 2-1, thanks to goals from Tom Mee and Luke Haigh.

Jak Kelly leads their goalscoring charts with seven goals. He is followed by Issac Bernasko and Arista Llewellyn, who are on six each.

Past Meetings.

Our database indicates that apart from the 4-0 defeat we suffered against Horbury's reserves at Barr Field in October 2021, this will be the second time the teams have met.

Squad News.

At the time of writing, Manager Kris Macdonald has a decent sized squad for this match. Keeper Kieran Arnett returns from first-team duty, and Connor Weal, Taylor Maxwell and James Woodward should be available also. Captain Dan Flynn will be absent due to injury.
