Black Marauders!

Look out you scum, the Black Marauders are coming down to blast your unbeaten run to smithereens. Usually we're the Sky Blues, but tomorrow we'll be the boys in black and we're going to kick some Coleraine ass. The only player definitely missing from United's line-up is Mike Ward, which might mean a place on the bench for Davitt Walsh. Nathan McConnell, who let's face it hasn't set the world on fire so far, will probably continue up front with team Captain Kevin Kelbie, with United's preference for a 5 man midfield, Mark Picking will probably have to wait in the wings (pardon our pun), against one of his former teams. With Lee Colligan and 'player of the month' Paul Muir facing late fitness tests United may be forced into a couple of late changes, otherwise the team will almost pick itself. United keeper Alan Blayney has been offered a new contract therefore the 'ball' is in his court and manager Roy Walker expects an imminent answer or he'll need to find a back-up for young Sean O'Neill. The 'Scum' are missing three players including their top man, Stephen Carson, due to suspension, so there's no reason why United can't record a second successive victory over the 'stinking gas-men'. Let's hope for a good crowd, a good atmosphere and the right outcome, a United victory. So come on you All Blacks, let's shag, that Coleraine Scum!
