Reserves gain comfortable win over Stafford Rangers

Last updated : 09 September 2002 By Site Staff
Dario fieled a strong reserve side at Stafford last night as the Railwaymen strolled to a 9-0 victory.

Dario gave a run out to all the players who are on the fringe of the first team squad, including a run out for Dean Ashton who found himself left out of the squad at the weekend.

Deano netted the one goal last night, but the noteable performer was Steve Jones, who grabbed 4 goals to push his claims for a place in Dario's plans for the visit of Colchester on Saturday. The former Leigh R.M.I. player has had limited first team oppertunities but has figured regularly in the reserve side and has proved he is capable of scoring.

Efe Sodje played the full game, starting at right back, then switching to partner Chris McCready at centre back. The Nigerian looks set to start the game on Saturday at right back, with David Wright switching to left back in the absense of David Vaughan who is away on international duty with the Welsh U-21 squad.
