Kelbie Doubt!

United stand-in Captain, Kevin Kelbie, may have to sit out tomorrow's game at home to Newry City with a calf injury. With David Cushley serving an automatic one game ban courtesy of two yellow cards last Saturday, manager Walker may require two additional players to supplement Saturday's winning line-up. Three points would put United safely away from any threatened play-off, so they need to field their strongest available starting eleven. Tommy Wray has recovered from his bout of flu and may be added to the panel as well, although Roy's policy usually means a game in the reserves when coming back from injury. Kelbie, if fit, will no doubt retain his starting role, but the manager could include Paul McNeill from the start after some good touches when coming on as a sub in last Saturday's game. Gary Haveron may well get a start in Cushley's place, while Nathan McConnell may be the preferred option if Kelbie's a non-starter. No matter who gets the nod, they will know they are involved in a game, as the boy's from the border City are fighting to avoid a relegation play-off if one is deemed necessary. So come on Sky Blues, let's shag those south downers!
