McEvatt a doubt for Lancs Trophy semi-final

IN-form Kendal Town striker Gary McEvatt could miss Wednesday's Lancashire FA Trophy semi-final against Radcliffe Borough.

McEvatt showed the early signs of a hernia in training on Thursday, but boss Lee Ashcroft is hopeful he could feature.

He said: "We only have a small squad and I'm hoping to bring players in this week but Mark Jackson is away this week and Gary [McEvatt] showed early signs of a hernia.

"Kevin Leadbetter was magnificent in our cup match against Lancaster City a couple of weeks ago and is pushing for a start. There is a good spirit in the camp and we have started on a bit of a run which hopefully we can continue on Wednesday night."

Ashcroft confirmed Danny Williams will be available for the match against Evo-Stik First Division North Radcliffe, despite his sending off against Whitby Town last week.

He said Williams would serve a one-match ban, which would be Saturday's home tie against Frickley Athletic.

A 49-seater supporters coach, which will travel to Leyland for Wednesday's clash, is full.

Radcliffe Borough v Kendal Town kicks off at 7.45pm.
