TOWN midfielder Massimo Luongo sat out Australia's friendly with world champions Germany in Kaiserslautern as the Socceroos claimed a 2-2 draw tonight.

Luongo was not named in the Australian squad for the game, with his side next taking on Macedonia in Skopje on Monday.

Yaser Kasim's Iraq, with the Town midfielder in the squad, are due to face DR Congo, also in a friendly this weekend.

In non-league action, Shrivenham returned to action by making the trip to the Forest of Dean to take on Lydney Town in the Hellenic League's Bluefin Sports Supplementary Challenge Cup.

But the visitors bowed out of the competition with a 3-1 defeat.
