Sheffield Pre-Match News
Gresley get back to league action tonight as they take on Sheffield at the Moat Ground - 7.45pm.
Managers Gary Norton and Martin Rowe will have a decision to make regarding who takes the number one jersey. Goalkeeper and skipper Gary Hateley is back from his journey overseas with work commitments but after Saturday's good performance from young keeper George Woodward at Sutton Coldfield Town Woodward could be handed a league debut.Norton said: "We were pleased to get through to the next round of the Trophy particularly because we hadn't got a goalkeeper with Gary and Tom Gutteridge both unavailable. We did try to bring in a keeper but most teams didn't want their keepers cup-tied.
"However, we thought we'd give George a try as we'd heard he's highly regarded by the reserve team management and by all accounts he did really well. With Gary now available it gives us food for thought. My heart says one thing and my head another so we'll have to see what happens. If George plays the supporters will say fair enough after his performance at the weekend. It's nice to know that if needed we can rely on him."
Tom Gutteridge is still out due to a torn groin.
