Football: Non-league round-up

KING CUP, ROUND 1

PRESTON ATHLETIC manager Stevie Myatt's only concern is defender Matt Costello as they await EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY, who were successful in Nottingham in midweek and came through unscathed. Alasdair MacKinnon, Ryan McIntosh, Michael Hazeldine and Kerr Dodds missed out and are in line for a place. Jack Beesley is suspended.

LEITH ATHLETIC have pulled off a major coup by attracting Berwick Rangers striker Steven Radzynski back to the club where he learned his trade. Sean Fallon is still out for the visit of local neighbours CIVIL SERVICE STROLLERS, fresh from their away win in midweek against Edinburgh City, and with a fully fit squad to choose from.

ORMISTON welcome back striker Jason Young after suspension against a HERIOT-WATT UNIVERSITY team, who were eliminated on penalty kicks from the British Universities Championship on Wednesday. Aaron James and Andy Forbes should both be fit to play.

SELKIRK, with no selection worries, face a STIRLING UNIVERSITY side who still have injury concerns surrounding Abraham Keller, Art Neilsen and Jacob Arnold-Smith.

LOTHIAN THISTLE will be without the unavailable Mark Lothian and Martin MacAulay is suspended as they entertain a CRAIGROYSTON team high in confidence with Jamie Paterson returning although Andy Dewar is not available.

In the Borders, KELSO UNITED face GRETNA 2008.

KING CUP, ROUND 2

EYEMOUTH UNITED have four players unavailable. Thiago Ferreira returns. Opponents WHITEHILL WELFARE have only one doubt, captain Ross Johnston.

EASTHOUSES LILY have a full squad against VALE OF LEITHEN.

CENTRAL TAXIS PREMIER DIVISION

COLDSTREAM manager Mark Lamb is hoping that his recent signings including Ray and Ron Fleming can gel quickly. Opponents EDINBURGH CITY, defeated in midweek by Civil Service Strollers, must also win to ease themselves away from the drop zone and they have Kevin Morrison available after his four-match suspension although midfielder Scott McFarlane is very doubtful.

CENTRAL TAXIS FIRST DIVISION

GALA FAIRYDEAN have new signing Jordan Lauder in Fraser Lothian's squad although John Waldie is on holiday. Visitors to Netherdale are HAWICK ROYAL ALBERT who have Steven Noble suspended.
