Selection headache after midfielder's debut

Cammell Laird's new midfielder James Foley could make his second start for the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League club on Saturday when they host Farsley at Kirklands.

Foley, 19, made his debut for the Evo-Stik NPL First Division North outfit as a second half substitute in their 3-2 win at Chorley in the Third Round of the Doodson Sport Cup on Tuesday.

Manager Tony Sullivan signed the former Macclesfield Town player from Welsh Alliance outfit Buckley Town and after his good performance now has a selection headache with fellow midfielder Jon Couch returning to action.

Foley is delighted with his move and to have been on the pitch when the winning goal was struck at the Evo-Stik NPL Premier Division Magpies.

He said: "It's good to join a team thats doing well, and you can see that by the way we played tonight in that second half."

Lairds manager Sullivan said: "James is a good player and we have had him training with us. It was nice to see him make his debut as he's only 19 and he's only going to get better."

Cammell Laird's victory at Chorley has earned them a trip to Marine in the League Cup's Fourth Round.
