Hellenic League preview: Barry Granger has given his full support to Tytherington Rocks' fledgling strike duo Mark Greenland and Marcus Taylor, ahead of tomorrow's away encounter at Cheltenham Saracens.

Rocks go there for a Division One West fixture eager to address three straight defeats. And despite watching his team score just twice during that spell, Granger is determined to stick to his guns where his youth development policy is concerned.

He said: "The two front players are feeling a bit down on their luck but I've been delighted with their performances. They're young lads and I'm confident they'll come good. Marcus is only 17 and has the capability of playing Southern League football one day."

Ollie Clark will make his Tytherington debut in central midfield following his switch from Chipping Sodbury Town.

Stewart Jones admits his 10th-placed Winterbourne United side "have a mountain to climb" if they're to claw back the 17-point gap between themselves and leaders Hardwicke.

The Bourne boss, whose side entertain sixth-placed Oxford City Nomads, has central defender Dean Kingman back to bolster his rearguard, but midfielder Mark Nash remains a doubt with a cracked rib.

Jones will resist plunging into the player market for now and said: "There'll be no panic measures but suffice to say we're playing serious catch-up if we're to retain our title."
