bababui sorry not put anything up the last couple week's but been nothing in the paper, they must only put stuff in every couple of week's when it's the off season.

They bounced back on Tuesday beating Skelmersdale 2-1 and a number of young reserves put in encouraging performances.
Manager Andy Nelson said "The worst thing about the FC United defeat is they fielded five players I've released in the past and there may have been an element of them raising their game to stick it to their old manager.
The squad as been strengthened by the addition of new players and some long term injuries should return.
Gavin Lee is fully fit again and we've brought in Mark Maddox from Altrincham so there's plenty of experience in the squad now." he added.
Promising new forward Dan Owen lifted the team when he came on in the second half against FC United and could start the first game of the season away against Vauxhall Motors this Saturday.
Chairman Bill Taylor said "The manager has to work miracles with the income we get here but the players are very loyal."
