This was on the OS a few weeks back but I can personally confirm that it is definitely on at this moment (rain depending I suppose!)

I expect Thompson and McKenzie to play

I'm not sure about TUST members but I assume it will be as it is a reserve fixture.

Yes, Craig will be playing

Thanks

Macklin must not be happy at not even making the reserve starting 11. Judging his most recent tweet he is not anyway! My longshot at player of the season may well be a little far off the mark!

I saw the whole game and was impressed by several of the lads.

Rice will feel should have done better with their first but all in all not too bad and communicated well.

Mcdonald played ball around from the back and looked solid defensively.

Palmer solid and looked comfortable on the ball

Lrt looked good bursting forward, strong and defended well

Yeoman full of energy, got into good positions

Mcphee looked comfortable and he and easton controlled the midfield.

Easton controlled midfield battled well and looks worth a longer look. Cracking goal too

Halpin usual promise but no end product. Might have benefited from better strike

Craig played well, scored cracking goal, linked well and always a threat

Nardiello not that impressive, slow and didnt look up to pace could be to do with come back from bad injury maybe a good summer and solid pre-season and could be up to scratch. Never stopped working tho

Subs

Mackenzie unfortunate own goal. Good enough but may need another year before ready for first team

Macklin pace caused problems but again decision making let him down

Thompson showed pace and strength. Created couple of half chance
