PRE-MATCH QUOTES
Speaking after Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Scarborough Athletic, Manager Michael Dunwell said:
“It’s a tough test. I think we played them last year and I wasn’t here but the reports back were that they were a really good footballing side.
“Obviously they had a really good year last year and I think they are looking to kick on in the Northern League Division One so will be another tough game.
Dunwell added: “These games are just about getting minutes into the legs, moving the ball around and getting it the right areas and getting back to the levels we were last season. If not higher.”
