RESERVES BOSS: Ian Gay

BARROW Reserves may be switching their home games to Wednesdays, writes GRAHAM DIXON.

Dave Bayliss says there will be more Tuesday evening games in the Conference than in Blue Square North last season.

He adds: “Reserve team games on a Wednesday would be better for the lads who don’t get a game on the Tuesday.

“We’re not talking every week, maybe every couple of weeks. Match fitness is very important now we’re in a bigger league.”

Bayliss adds that he and joint-manager Darren Sheridan intend having a closer contact with the reserve set-up this season.

Ian Gay continues as manager, with the team playing in the Lancit Haulage Lancashire League (West).

The league will comprise of 12 teams, with Chorley and Clitheroe returning and Kendal resigning. Skelmersdale could also be back after a year’s absence, but the league are still waiting their decision.

The rest of the teams are Bamber Bridge, Burscough, Darwen, Fleetwood, Formby, Lancaster, Leigh RMI, Salford and Workington.

l The first team squad were having their third pre-season fitness session at Myerscough College today.
