Stourbridge facing injury nightmare

Stourbridge are battling an injury crisis ahead of their crunch promotion clash with Aylesbury tomorrow.

Ross Collins and Ryan Broadhurst joined Gary Hackett's walking wounded last weekend – adding to the boss' selection problems after Lee Bullimore and Jamie Whitcombe were ruled out due to a prior engagement.

Gavin Winfer is also suspended, prompting Hackett to hand recalls to Mark Jones and Ryan Mahon.

And the Stourbridge boss is backing them to make a decent impact when they return to the firing line.

"We've lost a few for whatever reasons which does obvious cause certain problems for a manager," he said.

"But we've got a good squad which has quality running through it and I won't hesitate in bringing back Mark and Ryan.

"They are players who have done well for me in the past and they are perhaps a bit unfortunate to be out of things."
