Seagulls sign new keeper

By Tim Channon on Dec 5, 11 12:30 PM

COLWYN BAY have signed up 6ft 3ins keeper Will Jones from Hyde United as cover for injured Chris Sanna.
The 20-year-old, who has also been with FC United of Manchester, Stalybridge Celtic and Corby, is set to make his debut at Harrogate Town on Tuesday night (international clearance permitting).
He is also clear to play in Saturday's FA Trophy game against Lincoln City - which is huge for him as he is Lincolnshire born and actually started his playing career with Lincoln as a youngster before joining neighbouring Stamford.
Chris Sanna, who injured his shoulder when falling badly in last Saturday's win over Droylsden, was due to have the injury assessed by a specialist today.
"I spoke to Chris this morning and he doesn't think it is quite as bad as first feared, but it looks as though he will still be out for a few weeks," reported player-boss Jon Newby.
Everybody else is fit for the trip to Harrogate and eager to play after last Saturday's excellent performance.
"We have to think about the number of games we are having to play in a short space of time (four in 12 days) and may possible make one other change, but we'll see how everybody is feeling before making a late decision," added Newby.
Harrogate, who are 15th in the league and six points behind Colwyn Bay, go into the game on the back of 5-1 defeat at Solihull Moors last Saturday.
That was their seventh defeat in their last 11 games and they have kept only three clean sheets in 20 games this season, so the Seagulls will want to bring home at least a point.
The Yorkshire side's main goal scorer is Paul Brayson, who some Bay fans will remember played and scored for Newcastle Blue Star against Colwyn Bay in the 2008-9 play-off semi-final at Kingston Park when Blue Star won on penalties and went on to win the final before going out of business.
Harrogate, who have plans to go full-time next season, have Adam Nowakowski, Danny Stimpson, Liam Hardy and Chris Elliott all ruled out of the game by injury.
Colwyn Bay (from) Jones, Denson, Lea, Meadowcroft, Hughes, McKenna, Evans, McLachlan, Hopley, Noon, Lloyd, McEvilly, Newby, Davey, Benson, King, Rouse.
