Reserves and youth team players represented United tonight in this local derby. The game got off to an appalling start when United goalkeeper Shaun Marshall sliced a clearance into his own net in the first minute. The game failed to improve from that point and City could have added to the score several times by the interval. Roy McFarland used the first half as a fitness test for Paul Wanless after the combative midfielder missed the last two weeks through injury and only resumed training last Thursday. The plus point from the game is that Wanless passed the test and should be in the squad for Saturday's opening league game at Scarborough.
At the start of the second half the referee was stretchered off, and as there was no linesman available a spectator took over! A lot of the youth team featured in the second half and we equalised in the dying moments once again through a trialist, thought to be Mark McCammon. Out-of-contract Player of the Year Matt Joseph played the whole game after being restricted to a brief appearance against Bury Town earlier in the pre-season schedule.
I would be grateful for any more team details if available, if you can help please e-mail me.
United line-up: Not announced (trialists, reserves and a smattering of first teamers!)
