Salford fight for last-32 place


15/11/2002

FOOTBALL>:SALFORD u15s are bidding to make it into the English Schools' Wizards Trophy last 32, writes Graeme Hollinshead.

They take on Bury for their 3rd Round clash at the Derby School on Saturday, kick-off 10.30am.

The Salford youngsters have had a topsy turvy season so far, but have fared well in the national inter association knockout cup - making it into the third Round with a 3-1 win against St. Helens.

But they will have to be their best against a Bury outfit, who have beaten Warrington 1-0 in the first Round and local rivals Bolton 5-3 after extra time of their second Round tie.

Both local associations have put their name on the national trophy in recent years with Bury beating Walsall in 1996 and Salford clinched the title by beating Cardiff in 2000.

Meanwhile, Salford u14s returned to winning ways with a 4-1 victory against St. Helens in their challenge match on Merseyside last week.
