    Friday 3rd July - Belper Utd v Ilkeston - Preseason Friendly - Ko 7 45

    .
    We commence pre-season friendlies tomorrow against Step 5 side Belper United at Mickleover’s ground .
    It's a first chance to see what sort of team Tris and Aaron have been able to put together. It’s a unique sitation with Colin Daniel and Jordan Stevens the only two regulars from last season who remain at the Club so it will be an almost completely new team and the first time our players have played as a together in a match situation . For sure it’s going to take a few friendlies for them to get to know each other but we should at least see the skill levels of individual players. 
    Here’s hoping Tris and Aaron surprise us with the quality of players they have persuaded to sign and good luck to the trialists who are still hoping to make the squad.
