Match Postponed: Hyde United

Due to safety concerns, today's match at home to Hyde United has sadly been postponed. A new date will confirmed in due course. The Holy Blues return to the Gainsborough Martin and Co Arena on Saturday afternoon as we welcome Hyde United in the 3pm PitchingIn Northern Premier League clash, a fixture with plenty at stake that looks to be an entertaining match between two sides desperate for points to help them climb away from the lower reaches of the table. In the dugouts, there promises to be an engaging sub-plot, Trinity's up and coming Head Coach, Tom Shaw comes up against managerial evergreen Jim Gannon.

Details

The Tiger's manager was appointed at the end of September following the departure of Dave McGurk, and has overseen two home and one away league victories since taking up the post, recording wins against Scarborough Athletic and more recently Ashton United, at home, their solitary away win to date coming against Nantwich Town, another of the sides around us. Sitting four places and a point below the Holy Blues, Trinity have a game in hand over Saturday's opponents, but will be keen to open up a gap at the foot of the table, with all three points come 4.45pm. On the road, results have been harder to come by for United and Trinity will be hoping that fortress Northolme will return to its normal difficult place to be for the opposition, come 3pm.

The youthful Gainsborough side assembled by Tom Shaw came through a couple of light training sessions following the battle of South Shields last time out, with the boss not revealing any fresh injury concerns ahead of the game.

"Tomorrow, we will once again pride ourselves on outrunning, outworking and outthinking our opponents and as we have shown in many home games this season, when we get into a rhythm with the ball we can cut the opposition apart with our talent and quality. Let’s all play our part in a big week and come 5pm next Saturday be satisfied with our efforts and points return, ready for the next challenges that lie ahead."

Inspiring words from the boss! Let's get behind him and the team and roar the side on to victory. Why not get your tickets in advance and save waiting around in the queues?
