Bassett Road set to host cup clash.

Letcombe Reserves welcome back Harry Broad and Mark Smith (pictured) from first team duty as Flackwell Heath Reserves visit Bassett Road tomorrow afternoon.

The match is a Chairman's Reserve Cup second round encounter and Manager Dennis Stock has named a strong squad, which also includes fit again Ross Packham, another who has played first team football this season.

We have also named 17 year old Harrison Crick, our latest addition, in the squad and another youngster, Dan Rolls, will play in goal. Marc Merritt will captain Letcombe Reserves and we will be looking to in-form Owen Shaw to provide a real goal threat.

Our progress in this competition has been somewhat exciting. In the previous round we drew 5-5 after extra time with Chinor Reserves before winning the penalty shoot out that followed. Our goal scorers that afternoon were Tommy Allen, Owen Bishop, Harry Broad and Ross Packham (2). All bar Allen are named in tomorrow's squad as Dennis stays loyal to players who have been available week in week out.

Tomorrow's game is a 2pm start and given our form in the previous round, it should be entertaining. Flackwell Heath Reserves sit fourth in Hellenic League Division Two East and will be strong opponents for our young side. All support is welcome!
