'Ball' ache

'Ball' ache

SALFORD will have to make do without Andy Ballard for the next four weeks after their leading points scorer underwent a hernia operation yesterday, Wednesday, May 7.

With Salford short of options on the wing this season, coach Shaun McRae admits that it is a blow to lose Ballard’s services, especially with the 21-year-old being the best goal kicker at the club.


 

Four more injuries

PAUL Kidd is expecting his Swinton Lions side to put in a good performance against York this weekend – despite four more names being added to the club’s seemingly ever growing injury list.

Fighting spirit will serve us well

Fighting spirit will serve us well

MALCOLM ALKER COLUMN: YOU have to admire the fighting spirit of sides like St Helens and, in the world of football, Manchester United. They are renowned for never giving up and for trying their very best right up to the final whistle. And I’m happy to say that we are now starting to show that attitude at Salford.
