All five Green senior sides are in action this weekend with attractive opposition and in four of the games there are league points at stake. The Saturday firsts (preview below) will be keen to get off to a good start away to Milton while the Saturday Reserves entertain Platt United’s second string. Trevor has added Jamie Hurst to his squad as a sub but is quite happy for him to play in the 12.30 kick off against SBE.

Dale Stringer is working and Nicky Bacon injured. Players to meet 11.15am at our ground.
On Sunday the seconds are at Sandyacres where they face much-fancied Galacticos in their Division One league opener [10.30am].
