Pre-Game Squad Update – Olney Town (A)

Mark Starmer gave afcdiamonds.com an update prior to Saturday’s game at Olney Town.

He reported reaction to the 3-0 victory at Harrowby last week has been very good, everyone has trained well and confidence is high.

The squad are looking forward to another tough game with plenty of vocal support. The support has been tremendous so far and it has been nice that our hosts have told us they have appreciated the extra income.

New signing Jake Newman comes into the squad for the game, which means it is likely that Ash Foulger will miss out a place on the bench. Only Alex Deakin remains on the injury list following his operation at the end of last month.

Striker Jake joins the club from Northampton Sileby Rangers having starred for Wellingborough Whitworth last season, netting 27 goals.

In other squad news, Troy Johnston has completed a move to Desborough Town, and all at AFC Rushden & Diamonds wish him well at his new club.
