FirParkCorner FC v Parselona Preview

Last updated : 02 August 2005 By Frazzle

After a busy pre-season schedule, including arelatively successful Worldnet tournament, FPC will line up at Houldsworth with a relatively settled first team. New signing Alan Easton will be in the squad after impressing in the victory over Sparta Jag towards the end of last season.

The central defensive pairing of Hepworth and Hendry will be disrupted as the latter is unavailable due to work commitments. Ross Mitchell will be looking to slot in at right back as Wyper continues his pre-season preparations on the continent. Any one, or perhaps all three, from Boyd, Speedie and Anderson could feature at the left hand side to complete a solid backline. Graeme Ramage is also in contention after a lengthy spell on the sidelines so Frazzle has some tough choices to make when organising his defence.

Galloway and Dave Hendry will be hopeful of retaining their places after the wing wizards put in a series of excellent displays at Worldnet, while Cunningham, O'Neill and Fraser are in contention for the central roles.

Gardiner and Lynas look set to continue their dynamic partnership up front but Del Wilson is now available and Scott Mullen will be keen to impress should he get a chance to feature in the match.

As rumours of John Barclays return continue to circulate, the gaffer concedes there could be at least one addition to the squad before the season gets underway but he's remaining tight-lipped on the situation until any deals are tied up.

The 'Corner are keen to get going and the feeling in the camp is that a piece of silverwear is long overdue, and the lads are keen to remedy that over
the coming year.
