5-a-side Preview: v Lost Boys

Last updated : 19 May 2010 By Dan Buxton

After last weeks physical game, Athletic are back in action again and hoping for a change of fortune. Luck though may be the needed in abundance as Hardly tackle Premier League table toppers Lost Boys in their penultimate cup game.

Boys have played a total of seventeen league and cup games, with fourteen against top flight opposition, and have yet to be defeated with fifteen wins and two draws. They have also netted over 100 times, whilst conceding only four times in their five cup games so far, and won the top flight with three games to spare.

After a series of narrow defeats it'll be a tough test for Hardly but one they must relish and try and make the most of with nothing to lose.

With Dan Middleton still sidelined with a knee injury and Matt Carter out through suspension after last weeks red card, the side picks itself with the remaining seven players all in the squad.

The game kicks off at 8.25pm and the seven players chosen to compete this week are:

Chris Cope

Dan Hallam

Ash Newman

Matthew Peart

Andy McEvoy

Dan Buxton

Joe Gordon
