Densmore finally making milestone

First signed on a month's contract following his release by Everton back in 2008, the defender, pictured below, will reach the landmark at Moss Lane against Warrington after missing out last weekend when Altrincham's match at Stourbridge fell victim to the weather and was called off with the Robins within sight of the War Memorial Ground.

The 29-year-old would have made many more appearances for the Robins but for injury-blighted seasons in 2015-16 and 2016-17. Having battled back to full fitness, he is currently on his longest consecutive run of league matches since the start of the 2015-16 campaign, having started seven of the club's last eight top flight fixtures and been a used substitute in the eighth match when manager Phil Parkinson rotated his squad on New Year's Day.

The son of former Altrincham player of the 1980s, Peter Densmore, the hardworking defender and midfielder followed his father into the England semi-pro international side and scored on his debut for England C against Malta in February 2009. Following the resignation of manager Neil Young in 2016, the club's former skipper was appointed to a caretaker-management role with two other players before the appointment of Jim Harvey.

The Robins also have a club milestone to aim for on Saturday 10 February at Buxton after last weekend's trip was postponed, a seventh consecutive away win in the league, something they haven't achieved since the 1990-91 season.
