Marching On!

The Sky Blues continued their 'friendly' games, with a trip to Newforge Lane and a game against the P.S.N.I. The second division side had little answer to the 'slick' moving Sky Blues and were let off lightly with a three nil scoreline. New signing Vincent Sweeney nothched two of the goals and the other one came from the boot of Gary Haveron, who hit a sweet free kick from thirty yards. Manger Tommy Wright gave a first game to dimunitive United striker Eddie Hill in place of Rory Hamill and played McFrederick in goal for the entire ninety minutes. United's next game is away to Coagh United tomorrow (Friday), kick-off 7-15, followed by a match at home against Raceview Rangers the next day during the club's 'open day', kick-off 3pm. This is in fact United's only home game of the entire round of pre-season friendlies. The United management have been alerted by the news that Larne striker Mark Dickson, has now had a change of heart and won't be joining newly promoted Glenavon, following the sacking of their manager Tommy Kincaid. Dickson had been a target for former United manager Kenny Shiels last season, but decided to stay at Larne in that instance. Now it seems he is open to offers, but the snag is that United having completed the signing of Glentoran 'fringe' player Paul McDowell, now find their 'purse strings' stretched to the limit. But and we stress the word 'but', as the old saying goes 'it's not over to the fat lady sings', we at 'Sport will endeavour to keep you posted!
