United hit by keeper shortage

WESTBURY United boss Paul Brickley could be facing a goalkeeping crisis for his side's trip to Minehead tomorrow.

First choice stopper Lewis Porter is unavailable because of work commitments while reserve goalkeeper Jamie McGuckian suffers from stomach problems.

McGuckian has declared himself fit to play but Brickley will have a young keeper from their A team on stand-by just in case.

Westbury will also be travelling without the injured Matty Bown (hamstring), while Mark Pearce (flu), and Pete Ayton (inflamed knee) are struggling to be fit.

Brickley said: "I will be taking a young squad down to Minehead and we know it will be a tough game because they have only lost one match in their last 11.

"I will be asking for the same commitment they showed in the defeat on Saturday because I thought that was our best performance since I became manager.

"We would probably settle for a point but we will still go there to set out our stall to win the game."
